Jamie Reid

Jamie Reid born in 1947 in England, he is a British artist and anarchist with connections to the Situationists. His work, featuring letters cut from newspaper headlines in the style of came close to defining the image of punk rock, particularly in the UK.
He was educated at John Ruskin Grammar School in Croydon. With Malcolm McLaren, he took part in a sit in at Croydon Art School.
Reid produced a series of screen prints in 1997, the twentieth anniversary of the birth of punk rock. Reid has also produced artwork for the world music fusion band Afro Celt Sound System.

 This is one of his popular work call SEX PISTOLS
 The way he created this one is kind of cool, the United Kingdom flat is tear and trying to fix it up with those needles. 
England's Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and Beyond. 


His works are a little bit awkward looking at my side. I never seen those kind of art so.
Reid has been exhibiting and publishing prints with the Aquarium Gallery, where a career retrospective, May Day, May Day, was held in May 2007. He now exhibits and publishes work at Steve Lowe's new project space the Light Industrial Workshop in Clerkenwell, London.
He is also represented by Isis Gallery who look after Reid's extensive archive.
