The PREFAB77 'Let It Reign' prints celebrate the 60-year reign of monarch Queen Elizabeth II during the year of her Diamond Jubilee. The celebratory pieces thus far range from gala concerts to boat pageants; however, this print provides a spraypainted twist.
The limited edition prints created by the UK collective of artists PREFAB77 takes a portrait of her majesty and adds a rock and roll edge.
On its site, the collective PREFAB77 states they weave, "small bites of modern popular culture, vintage NME headlines, pure British rock 'n rebellion into traditional iconic British imagery." In the 'Let It Reign' prints they do so successfully, from the beautifully bold metallic gold and red screen print to the more subdued blue or pink prints. The winking Queen Elizabeth has an air of mischief, while remaining the ever-refined royal.
