Description

In this powerful work, Bruno Boffa celebrates the audacity and creative genius of David Bowie , a timeless icon of music and pop culture. The artist's black and white portrait, marked by Ziggy Stardust's iconic red lightning bolt, occupies the center of the composition. Around him, a teeming universe mixes graffiti, graphic symbols, red lightning bolts, electric guitars, handwritten inscriptions and references to underground culture.

The urban backdrop, saturated with textures, torn posters, and drawn elements, evokes the artistic effervescence and protest energy that accompanied Bowie throughout his career. The whole thing exudes an electric atmosphere, at the crossroads of rock, fashion, and the avant-garde.

Created on an aluminum support , the piece combines photo montage and high definition printing , enhanced by the careful application of gold leaf , which brings brilliance and depth to the composition. An automotive-grade varnish is then applied, giving the work exceptional shine and lasting protection , while enhancing the richness of the colors and contrasts.

Here, Boffa captures the essence of David Bowie—his visionary creativity, unique style, and free spirit—in a contemporary and intensely expressive aesthetic.
