Product description
Originally intended to bridge the gap between Ziggy Stardust and his next evolution, the 1973 RCA Records promotional imagery became the definitive visual language for David Bowie’s career. This print reproduces the Brian Duffy photograph where the artist appears with eyes closed, his face split by the famous red and blue lightning bolt. The composition utilizes a stark white background that pushes the warm flesh tones and vivid makeup toward the viewer, maintaining the sharp clarity of the original vintage studio shoot.
Looking at this piece evokes the experimental energy of London in the early 1970s, a time when music and visual art fused into something entirely new. It captures a moment of quiet transformation, where a rock star becomes a mythic figure through simple, powerful iconography. There is a weight to the expression—a mix of vulnerability and otherworldly confidence that defined the glam rock era and continues to influence modern fashion and aesthetics.
It belongs with the classic rock posters, and looks deliberate hung near david bowie prints.
