Douglas Gordon
Working across mediums and disciplines,
Douglas Gordon investigates moral and ethical questions, mental and physical states, as well as collective memory and selfhood.
Using literature, folklore, and iconic Hollywood films in addition to his own footage, drawings,
and writings, he distorts time and language in order to disorient and challenge.
About this work
Queen (200 x 240mm / mage Size: 70 x 120 mm)
Discover an evocative series of four hand-signed silkscreen prints by Douglas Gordon,
the Turner Prize-winning artist whose work delves into themes of memory,
identity, and the human experience. This limited-edition set, individually titled Cupid, Dolls,
Stud and Queen, originates from his if when why what commission for CIRCA 20:22,
where his neon works illuminated iconic global screens, including Piccadilly Lights in London, while reflecting Soho’s rich legacy of neon-lit allure.
Each print captures the electric vibrancy of neon, a medium Gordon deeply associates with discovery,
desire, and transformation. Rooted in Soho’s historic relationship with neon as both a beacon and a symbol of the provocative,
these artworks evoke the district’s intimate blend of glamour and grit.
The series pays homage to the enduring cultural relevance of neon as an artistic language,
one that Gordon encountered in black-and-white films and later amidst the flickering lights of London’s Dean and Old Compton Streets.
