Being a champion of graphic improvisation like a true pop artist, perpetually aware of the commercial world around him, Louis Sidoli has long sourced and acquired many diverse and seemingly extra-curricular materials to help lay the illustrative foundations for his key visualizations. Like for example in his brand new Spring 2014 release which lends heavily from Bowie’s original Wembley concert tickets, NME articles and pages from a paperback book chronicling ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’.
Constructed and published on this pictorial occasion in the guise of a limited edition, giclee on canvas representation, ‘Bowie’ graphically harnesses the compositional qualities and aspects of which he’s become synonymous with and for, as he herein visually chronicles one of popular culture’s most talked about and creatively dissected performers who was lionised by successive generations with regard to his own artistically-led output.
