    Jamie Reid Vote For Light Silkscreen Print by Jamie Reid

    Vote For Light Silkscreen Print by Jamie Reid Hand-Pulled on Wove Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2015 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 19.6x24.41 Silkscreen Print of People in Face Masks and the Words "Vote For Light". Small bump to the middle extreme left margin. "Vote For Light" by Jamie Reid is a remarkable embodiment of the zeitgeist captured in the medium of silkscreen print. Hand-pulled on luxurious Wove Fine Art Paper, the piece, created in 2015, is an amalgamation of Reid's perspective and the cultural tides of the moment. Limited in its run, only 50 of these pieces were produced, each signed and numbered by Reid himself, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity. The artwork, measuring 19.6x24.41 inches, showcases an arresting visual of individuals adorned in face masks, an imagery that resonates with the contemporary experiences of the global populace. The indelible phrase "Vote For Light" emblazoned amidst the portrait of the masked figures sends a powerful message, potentially a call to action or a plea for hope amidst times of uncertainty. Silkscreen printing, traditionally associated with pop art, has been masterfully used here to blend the lines between street art, graffiti, and the more conventional gallery artworks. Reid’s decision to utilize this method is a testament to his commitment to maintain the raw and unfiltered aura commonly associated with street and graffiti art. Jamie Reid's "Vote For Light" is more than just a print; it stands as a symbol, a social commentary, and an invitation for discourse. As with most artwork that converges on the realms of pop, street, and graffiti art, this piece not only captures the artist's viewpoint but also challenges its audience to introspect and engage with the world around them. Drawing inspiration from the events and sentiments of its time, the artwork offers a snapshot of history, forever immortalized on fine art paper.

Jamie Reid

Jamie Reid (born 1947) is a British artist and anarchist, best known for his iconic punk-era album artwork, specifically his work with the Sex Pistols, an influential punk rock band from the 1970s. Reid's designs are often characterized by a DIY (do-it-yourself) aesthetic, incorporating cut-and-paste collages, bold typography, and political messaging. Reid's most famous artwork is probably the cover for the Sex Pistols' album "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" (1977), which featured a chaotic jumble of cut-out letters in various colors. Another well-known piece is the artwork for the single "God Save the Queen" (1977), which featured a defaced image of Queen Elizabeth II with a safety pin through her mouth and swastikas in her eyes. This controversial image became a symbol of the punk movement and its anti-establishment stance. Reid's work was heavily influenced by the Situationist International, a group of avant-garde artists and intellectuals from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, who sought to critique and subvert consumer culture and capitalist society. Reid's provocative designs have had a lasting impact on the visual language of punk and counterculture movements. Jamie Reid is perhaps best known for his iconic album and single covers for the Sex Pistols, particularly the "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" album and "Anarchy in the UK" single. His work has been associated with the punk subculture and embodies its DIY, anti-establishment ethos.
