David Bowie


David Bowie was born in Brixton on January 8, 1947. He is musician and actress. What i realized when i saw his works was that he is multiple artist and he has lead a contemporary art of Music and fashion. I assumed that his works have symbolized modern rock, such as art and fashion. Particularly, David Bowie's fashions have shown a lot of sexual exploration, which affected on new perspective of human being in early 1960s.  
The art work that i attached above is diamond dog by Guy Peellaert. it is a tour poster. it was an impressive to me. it is half men and haf dog, which i personally think that he described himself as an undeveloped animal. I assume that he might want audience not to be human. He probably wanted audience to left everything and enjoyed his concert. 

Even though his music and artworks were great, his fashion caught my attention because it is the Avant garde fashion. Some of works were understable if i think of his previous work. However, some of works are difficult to comprehend several ways. For example, the picture that i attached. I think that he got inspired in Asian cultures. As you can see under picture, he got inspired particularly Japanese culture. 


I watched Jean michel basquiat movie last week. I was surprised that David Bowie acted as an Andy Warhol in the movie. Overall, the David Bowie exhibition was surprisingly good experience because many artists are surrounding me. However, i have not seen a multiple artist like David bowie.
