Work Summary & Collector Notes

'The Beast 4 Peace (Stamped Edition)' is a 2020 archival inkjet print on heavy matt stock, a collaborative work between L-13's in-house 'pacifist pooch' THE BEAST and Jamie Reid. The stamped edition is one of two formats, with the overall run numbering 113 at 39 x 30.5 cm.

Why It Matters

The piece captures the playful, collaborative spirit of Reid's later work with the L-13 studio. Pairing his rebel-romantic pacifism with the studio's mascot THE BEAST, it turns an anti-war message into something wry and communal. The stamped edition marks a distinct variant within a small overall run.

Collector Perspective

The stamped format distinguishes this from the signed edition, so buyers should confirm which variant they hold and its place within the 113-strong run. Heavy matt stock frames well. As a collaborative and characterful piece, its appeal rests on the L-13 narrative and Reid's peace theme rather than his marquee Queen imagery.

Historical Context

L-13 Light Industrial Workshop has been Reid's principal collaborator and publisher in his later career, producing many of his editions. THE BEAST is a recurring studio persona. This print reflects the collective, humour-laced ethos of that partnership, extending Reid's pacifist strand into the pandemic year.
