Bowie - Shh

Mixed-media portrait of David Bowie, capturing him in a quiet, commanding “shh” gesture. The iconic lightning motif across his face immediately evokes Bowie’s transformative image, while the finger to the lips introduces a sense of mystery, intimacy and restraint.

Set against a layered background of blue, gold, grey and white, with graphic text and expressive textures, the painting balances realism with raw contemporary energy. The result is a bold tribute to Bowie’s enduring presence — theatrical, enigmatic and instantly recognisable.
