The art of Clunie Reid

Was wandering around feeling rather underwhelmed by part one of Newspeak - Saatchi's latest collection of British art - until I came across Clunie Reid's work covering two walls.

With the art of appropriation of a Richard Prince and the rebelliousness of a Jaime Reid, the contemporaneity of her collages slashes out at celebrity & consumer culture with a sharp eye and gift for juxtaposed compositions united by gaffer tape and marker pen. And scissors and great wit. Cool stuff.
