This striking original by Gill Storr is part of her acclaimed Icons series, celebrating legendary cultural figures through bold composition and intricate detail. Here, David Bowie is reimagined in Gill’s distinctive style — his image deconstructed, reassembled, and layered with vibrant colour and expressive texture.

The background is as much a part of the story as the portrait itself. Gill has meticulously researched Bowie’s life and career, embedding fragments of newspaper articles, concert tickets, posters, and song titles into the work. These hand-painted and collaged elements create a rich tapestry of references that honour Bowie’s enduring influence on music, art, and culture.

Each layer is built up through Gill’s unique process: starting with the deconstruction of a photograph, then transforming it with paint, texture, and carefully chosen details. The result is a dynamic and emotive portrait — one that invites the viewer to look closer and uncover the many facets of Bowie’s legacy woven into the work.

A true collector’s piece, Bowie in Red combines iconic imagery with Gill Storr’s trademark craftsmanship, making it both a tribute and a celebration of one of the greatest artists of our time.
