Laurie-Rae Chamberlain (born 1950), whose name is sometimes styled as Laurie Rae Chamberlain or Laurie Ray Chamberlain, is a color Xerox artist and graphic designer from Great Britain best known for his work on music album, magazine, and book covers.[1][2][3][4][5] He was active in the British art and fashion world during mid-1970s and 1980s before falling out of public life.[2][3][4]

Chamberlain is a graduate of the Royal College of Art.[4] An early adopter of the Xerox art form, he exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in the late 1970s and the Biennial of European Graphic Arts in the early 1980s.[6][7] He even served as an informal ambassador for color xerography, doing a live demonstration for the BBC in 1982 and publishing a book called Zen and the Art of Color Xerography the same year.[8][9]

More recently, his work was included in a retrospective exhibition on xerography at Firstsite in 2013, as well as part of a group show on 20th-century British performance, music and graphic design in 2019.[10][11][12][13] Prints by Chamberlain are in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, the British Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.[14][15][16] His artwork also appears on the covers of a 1979 eponymous album by the Flying Lizards and a 1981 album by This Heat, and in an album sleeve for Adam and the Ants.[4][17][18][19][20][21]

In addition to his Xerox art work, Chamberlain competed in the Alternative Miss World contest in 1975 and served as a gossip columnist and fashion editor of the International Times in 1977.[4]
