Gary James McQueen’s ‘Kintsugi (Violet)’ is a captivating piece from his Still Life Series, showcasing the artist’s innovative approach to 3D lenticular art. This limited edition artwork, measuring 105 × 85 cm framed, presents a striking skull adorned with intricate violet floral patterns.

This piece is not just a visual delight but a conversation starter, making it a perfect addition to any contemporary art collection or modern living space.
