Stripping away any adornments and accessories, we see a powerful image of Boy George’s signature ‘scarman’ figure. The scarman represents us all, healing from our own emotional wounds and tough experiences. We see the words ‘I laugh at fashion’ hand-embellished below three smaller figures. Boy George finds humour in the furore surrounding fashion. For him, the beauty of fashion lies in the artistry, skill and vision. This piece reflects on his cyclical relationship with fame and the perception of his public image.

The artwork is printed by a specialist atelier team using layers of silkscreen before Boy George adds hand-embellished details to create a completely unique artwork. Boy George’s extraordinary collection of mixed media original and unique artworks is a sight to behold. Portraying a host of known and unknown icons, they explore themes of identity, transformation and judgement.
