Carrie Reichardt – Mad In England (King Charles Special)

Special Screenprint by Boo Hoo Artist at Pristown Press

Carrie Reichardt is one of Britain's most celebrated contemporary artists, renowned for her fearless political commentary, activist spirit and uncompromising approach to art. Working across ceramics, printmaking, mosaics and public art, Reichardt's work challenges authority, questions social norms and gives voice to alternative perspectives. Her art is held in numerous public and private collections and has become synonymous with contemporary British counterculture.

This special edition screenprint was produced by Boo Hoo Artist at Priestown Press and created as a one-off piece in support of fundraising efforts for Glasgow Children's Hospital. Printed on recycled elephant dung paper, the work combines traditional screenprinting techniques with a unique handmade surface, creating an artwork that is both visually striking and environmentally conscious.

Featuring a bold Union Jack backdrop and a provocative portrait of King Charles III obscured by the words "Mad In England", the artwork draws upon the rich tradition of British punk, protest art and political satire. The graphic composition, strong colour palette and irreverent imagery reflect Reichardt's long-standing commitment to challenging established narratives while encouraging discussion and debate.

This artwork comes from a private collection assembled in support of children's charities. For deeply personal reasons, the collector has chosen to continue that charitable legacy, with a donation from the sale of each piece from the collection being made to Bristol Children's Hospital.

As a unique artwork and part of a collection with a meaningful charitable story, this piece offers collectors the opportunity to acquire not only a visually powerful work of contemporary art but also to contribute towards an important cause.
