Starman 1.5 (Blue Moon) – DS

Limited edition screenprint (of only 7) on floated ACM board.

Novak created his first David Bowie painting back in 2015 after visiting the ‘David Bowie Is’ exhibition in Melbourne. In the artist’s own words:

“I was gob-smacked by of course not only his music but also his artistic process (sometimes using early computers to generate random phrases into lyrics). He was a trailblazer in the fashion world too with intense bravery to go against trends! At that time Bowie himself hadn’t told the world he was unwell. I was working on pieces the day he died. Spending all day on some paintings for a show overseas… my wife let me know the sad news as soon as I walked in the door. I created these ‘Starman’ limited edition screenprints several years after he passed as direct tribute pieces. Bowie is so intimately tied to the stars and space that I felt placing him within the moon was a fitting honour.”
