Leon Reid’s newest project is four large-scale models that are being exhibited in the show Design Jazz, open until November 7, in the Pratt Manhattan Building.

Reid likes to mix it up. He began his career using the defiant art form of graffiti in 1995. And since then, he has not only tagged various NYC buildings, subway stations, and street signs, but has also cultivated his art into three-dimensional projects and urban installations, while still putting his spin on pressing societal issues. Reid has also recently been bringing art to children in public schools through Creative Arts Workshops for Kids. It’s always great to see a young artist experimenting with ideas and concepts and best of all, making it available to bargain hunting art collectors.

Reid’s work, including a 20-page illustration book documenting his art from 1994-2004, is available for super affordable prices through his website. Check it out—you won’t be disappointed and you might stumble upon that piece that belongs on your wall.
