David Bowie King of Hearts Print

‘Bowie’

David Bowie, King of Hearts

Open Edition Giclee Prints

Inspiration

My first memory of Bowie was actually in the film ‘Labyrinth’ as a kid, then I later discovered his music and learnt more about him, and my love and appreciation for what he’s done in his career has only grown! His ability to create such a memorable stage persona was special and shaped the glam rock, gender fluid era as well as his constant reinvention and diversity in music. His fashion sense set him apart, and influences from his music can still be found in music today. I just had to paint this iconic portrait of him.  

Process

The original artwork is taken to an artwork reproduction specialist who colour match every single detail in the painting over the course of two weeks with a 1200dpi scanner, allowing the painting to be blown up to over 4 times the original size! 

It is then printed on Ilford Galerie Textured Cotton Rag - 310gsm - this museum-grade paper provides deep blacks, excellent image sharpness, optimum colour graduation and its unique slight grain makes it ideal for printing detailed work and exceptional black and white portraits. It has the purest white tones in the market without using optical brighteners. It has a white border around the edge to allow for framing and bleed space.

The Series

The ‘Royal Flush’ series is an offspring of my favourite paintings from the ‘Get Messy Challenge’, and the series is only just beginning! I have so many ideas of how to expand on this collection that I can’t wait to share with you.
