Jamie Reid: A Lifetime of Radical Gestures
Last year, the world bid goodbye to Jamie Reid – an iconic artist that Enter Gallery have proudly enjoyed a long and inspiring relationship with over just a couple of the decades of his incredible 50-year career.
We are honouring Jamie Reid with an exhibition in collaboration with John Marchant Gallery and The Arcova Trust at Enter Gallery from April 25th until 1st May, and we’d love to see you there.
About Jamie Reid
Jamie Reid may be best known for his work alongside Malcolm McLaren as the Art Director for the Sex Pistols, and for shoving a safety pin through Queen Elizabeth II’s lip, but his career extended far beyond those years rubbing shoulders with Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten.
From his days at Croydon Art School, right up to the final pieces of work he created, Reid spent his entire artistic career fighting to expose inequality and preserve personal freedoms. Whether supporting the likes of Pussy Riot and Extinction Rebellion, or rallying against laws that stripped rights from the common man, Reid showed us time and again the strength of art when it comes to speaking truth to power.
