About The Artwork

David Bowie is one of those rare and true musical chameleons who has kept people of all different generations captivated with his many disguises: folksinger, androgyne, alien, decadent, blue-eyed soul man, modern rock star - each one spawning a league of imitators. His most innovative, theatrical and daring album Ziggy Stardust made him one of rock music's greatest icons. "There's a Starman waiting in the sky," says Bowie in that strange voice filled with premonitions. "He'd like to meet us but he's afraid he'd blow our minds." And he was right he did blow all our minds. 'I photographed David Bowie in 1996, just before his 50th birthday. A few years later he recommended me to his wife Iman to photograph her. We set up a meeting. This was before he had bought an house in London, but I went to their hotel to meet them both, and it was like stepping back in time to the 1940s. With butler service and secret code names done, I was just tucking into the biscuits when this amazingly beautiful woman came over to introduce herself, ‘Hi Ian, I’m Iman.’ Bowie followed shortly after, this at least made me feel a bit more comfortable, having had met him previously. But I was just like stunned while, so early in the morning, how good looking Bowie looked; it was like he had just got out of bed and stumbled down a bit bedraggled, but still looking like the coolest human being you have ever met.' ITEM SPECIFICS: * Two portraits with image size 30 x 28.5 inch / 762 x 724 mm. There is a 4 inch white surround border. The two prints are mounted on dibond.

Ian Davies was born in Salford in the North West of England. He began his career photographing the local Manchester bands of the late 1980's and in particular touring with the Happy Mondays. After moving to London in the early 1990's, Ian began working for leading cutting edge magazines, The Face, i-D, Vibe, Spin and RayGun, photographing many of the world's leading music and fashion artists, including Bjork, Sir Paul Smith, David Bowie and Jean Paul Gaultier. His work for the American magazine RayGun and MTV's Blah Blah Blah helped to develop his "catching the moment" and "raw energy" style of photography and this brought him into contact with both fashion and advertising agencies, allowing him the opportunity to work on campaigns for MTV, Sony, Marlboro, Carling and fashion campaigns for J.Lindeberg, K-Swiss, Umbro and Levi's amongst others. Ian's work is internationally recognised from shooting with Maximo Park for the artwork of their debut album 'A Certain Trigger' and Manchester band James for the artwork 'Whiplash' to his portraits of David Bowie for a book project for RayGun and portraits of Joe Strummer, Deborah Harry, Amy Winehouse, Michael Stipe, Beck, Charlie Watts and Aerosmith.
