Gouache on newsprint, 185 x 290mm.

This early piece displays a raw energy that within a few years had become synonymous with both Reid and Punk. Using newsprint as a support, the paint is splattered and jabbed in a near frenzy, though the breadth of palate shows that Reid was making considered choices about placement and colour. This work was exhibited at British Library’s Breaking The Rules exhibition in 2008.
