In For The Money signed limited edition silkscreen print with glazes by British contemporary artist Barry Reigate, jointly published by CCA Galleries and Saatchi Gallery.

Made to accompany the Saatchi Gallery’s exhibition ‘Newspeak: British Art Now’ 2010.  The image was built up from many informal sketches and other sources such as footprints, scuffs, marks and pot stains on paper- all combined into one composition like a kind of collage. The image is childlike (a cartoon) and the character is drawn from various images grabbed over the internet/magazines then re-drawn to become Reigate’s own. The accidental-looking black smudge hides a darker reality: money- a taboo subject in relation to an artist’s practice. The title thus embraces the base subject matter of an underlying secret and at times sinister objective, of an artist’s intentions.  In for the Money is at the same time fun and playing with a darker undertone in regards to art and commerce.
