Inspired by the 2016 re-edit of the 1973 official video for "David Bowie - Life On Mars?" directed by Mick Rock. This was the only time David Bowie wore this suit and make up. The completion of this painting coincides with the launch of Elon Musk's SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket, which sent his Tesla Roadster sports car into deep space with David Bowie's song "Life On Mars?" playing on continuous loop. The painting makes use of special iridescent paint to enhance the silk neck-tie and the texture of the background, which also creates a backlit effect giving the illusion that the subject is raised off the canvas. Liquitex acrylic paint applied with brushes and palette knives to stretched canvas. Ready to hang with brass wire and brass fittings attached.

Prior to attending my degree course I had been experimenting with painting in a cloisonné style not unlike that of Patrick Caulfield and Valerio Adami but using mixed media. At art college I developed this style further by continuing to paint using bold, block colours but now using Liquitex acrylic on canvas and without the black outlines. After graduating in 1982 I continued to paint for a short while and sold a few paintings, but then focussed on a career that involved writing, arranging, performing and teaching music. I returned to painting in 2011 using a similar stripped-down figurative style of painting, but now concentrating on nudes and portraits of my favourite rock, pop and jazz musicians. Conventionally, an artist chats to the sitter whilst their portrait is being created in their presence, resulting in the subject’s personality becoming captured within the image. My portraits are painted to a backdrop of the “sitter’s” music playing, which enables me to encapsulate in a painterly fashion my interpretation of their musical identity. Requests for commissions are most welcome.
