More for the collectors: David Bowie was Tested metallic watercolours on a David Bowie portrait. The pigments create a delicate shimmer in light—perfect for winter glamour. Metallics layer over the wash to highlight cheekbones, collars, and costume details; from some angles the shimmer reads lunar, echoing Bowie’s otherworldly presence. From afar, it’s a refined glow; up close, the pearlescent granulation reveals texture and layers.
At this festive time of year, I love to create new Glam Rock pieces to get me in the dancing mood. Glam Rock has always been about exuberance, theatricality and a bold celebration of identity — qualities that feel especially resonant during the holidays. This season’s new works draw on those hallmarks: vivid colour palettes, glittering textures and stylised figures that fuse vintage stage glamour with contemporary edge. I explore contrasts between the intimacy of studio portraiture and the spectacle of performance, using oil, collage and metallic leaf to capture the flash and drama of the moment.
Collectors: these pieces are made to be both seen and experienced. The metallic surfaces respond to light and movement in the room, so each viewing reveals new details. If you’d like condition reports, framing options, or to arrange an in-person viewing where the shimmer can be properly appreciated, I’m happy to provide further information.
