    Jamie Reid Boudica Is Coming HPM Silkscreen Print by Jamie Reid x James Cauty

    Boudica Is Coming HPM Embellished 6-Color Silkscreen Print by Jamie Reid Hand-Pulled on Distressed 400gsm Reverse Optimum Grey Card Limited Edition Artwork. 2018 Signed By Both Artists HPM Acrylic Hand Embellished Stencil & Numbered Limited Edition of 350 Artwork Size 17x25 Silkscreen Print of Queen Boudica on Horse Chariot Next To Skyscraper Building Art Car Boot Fair Edition Hand Distressed "Boudica Is Coming HPM" is a breathtaking example of the convergence of contemporary street art and history, captured elegantly in a 6-color silkscreen print by the talented Jamie Reid. Released in 2018 and hand-pulled on a distressed 400gsm Reverse Optimum Grey Card, this piece serves as a testament to the transformative powers of art. It is not just a print, but a hand embellished, stencil-enhanced masterpiece, evident in the details of acrylic that dance across the surface. The presence of the signature of both artists and its limitation to a mere 350 pieces makes this artwork an exclusive collector's item, ensuring its revered status among art aficionados. The artwork's composition is both thought-provoking and rebellious. Queen Boudica, an emblem of British resistance against Roman occupation, is depicted on her iconic horse chariot. Yet, in a brilliant juxtaposition, she's positioned beside a modern skyscraper. This anachronistic pairing bridges ancient courage and modern defiance, reminiscent of the spirit of street art that challenges the conventional and provokes thought. Furthermore, the size of the artwork, measuring 17x25, strikes an impressive balance between dominance and subtlety, allowing it to make a statement without overpowering its surroundings. This print was introduced during the Art Car Boot Fair Edition, a venue that often showcases edgy and avant-garde pieces. The hand-distressed nature of the artwork adds a tactile dimension to it, grounding it in raw, authentic emotion, much like graffiti art on city walls. Jamie Reid's "Boudica Is Coming HPM" is a piece that captivates and intrigues, embodying the best aspects of pop and street art, ensuring its place as a hallmark in contemporary artistic expression.

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.
