Steven McQueen 1969年出生在伦敦,有非洲裔加勒比血统,他在伦敦西部长大,热衷于踢足球。他曾经为圣乔治小马足球队效力。在伦敦西部的哈默史密斯学院读书的时候,他的艺术课拿的是“A”。
然后他进了伦敦著名的Goldsmiths艺术学院,在那里,他开始对影像感兴趣。之后他离开了Goldsmiths,去纽约的Tishch学院学习关于影像,但在发现不能从那里学到什么东西之后再一次选择了离开,他抱怨说,“他们根本不放心把摄像机交到你手里。”
McQueen后来靠自己走出了一条道路,他喜欢影像,十多年来,他已经在这方面成果卓著,1999年,他凭借视频“不动声色”(Deadpan),击败当年的获奖热门翠西-艾敏而获得了特纳奖,2007年,他以艺术家的身份,凭借其处女电影“饥饿(Hunger)”获得了戛纳电影节的单项奖,2009年,他代表英国参加了威尼斯双年展。
McQueen的的画面语言简洁直接。他的创作受到了新浪潮电影的安迪-沃霍影像的影响。他早期的影片常常以黑白的方式出现,而且常常是无声的默片。但后来,他慢慢的开始采用彩色视频,并把声音也纳入在内。他的影片的另外一个特色是,他本人也经常出现在自己的电影里。
