“This artwork was created in 2016, right after the death of David Bowie on 10.01.2016 as a remembrance. Bowie has shown various and avant-garde artworks, also he had impressed me with his works in film, music, fashion and other fields which had become an icon in the art field. I gained much motivation from Bowie as he had led through the era by creating his own style of art and the way he had constructed a unique world of art. This artwork is a pop-art that was based on my favorite one out of all Bowie’s amazing artworks, reconstructed as a new artwork by my own drawings. I had tried to put in the extraordinary of Bowie who has an odd-eye and, that we can see from his eyes and appearance.
When I was still an art student, David Bowie played as Andy Warhol in Basquiat, the biographical drama film based on the life of a famous American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. In the movie Bowie formed a band and he wrote songs with different kinds of music genre and all these had become a record of his casting as Andy Warhol. I think the pioneering practices of Bowie has the elements to be captured in my artworks and that was how this artwork was created. Bowie had created digital music and had collaborated with various artists during the analog era. I created this artwork as I truly wished to become how Bowie was who had always made new attempts not only in music but also in multiple fields. “
