I painted David Bowie as one of an ongoing series of cultural icons who have influenced my practice. David Bowie is a lifelong hero who I was fortunate to see live at Wembley Stadium, Town and Country Club and London Docklands. I was mesmerised by his performances. Bowie was art itself, in the fact that he reinvented himself so many times. This painting is based on references from his Ziggy Stardust period and I love the gold 'astral sphere' circle on his forehead. Bowie was adventurous with make-up at a time when not many men were and the gold circle feels like an unashamed celebration of this. Bowie's death came as a great shock and I have revisited him as a subject to paint through various eras both to celebrate and remember him.
