Bloody Empire - Rhubarb and Custard

Jamie Reid is known for subverting portraiture of political figureheads, most notably Queen Elizabeth II in his iconic work with The Sex Pistols.

In Bloody Empire, Reid switches subjects to Queen Victoria – the monarch who sat on the throne while the British Empire swept the globe, murdering millions and stamping out cultures all in the name of financial gain.

Alongside the cut out letters we see across his oeuvre, Reid has blacked out Victoria’s eyes, added a dribble of blood coming from her mouth, and gifted her a new moniker – the Empress of Pain. 

From a limited edition of 30, this piece is signed and numbered by the artist.
