Why It Matters
This work showcases the contemplative, cosmic side of Reid's art rather than his overt agitprop. The torn Hosho paper and bled under-colour make each impression individual within the edition, a genuine hand quality that distinguishes it from flat multiples. 'Love Infinite' reflects Reid's Druidic and countercultural spiritual interests.
Collector Perspective
The unique bleeding of each sheet is a real value driver: no two are identical despite the edition of 250. Torn Japanese paper is delicate, so condition and mounting deserve care. Collectors drawn to Reid's mystical, non-political output will find this among his more meditative editions.
Historical Context
Beyond punk, Reid was deeply engaged with mysticism, paganism and Druidry, themes that surface across his later work. Japanese Hosho paper carries its own printmaking heritage. This 2019 edition sits in the lineage of Reid's 'spirit' works, balancing his rebel reputation with a genuinely devotional strand.
