Released as part of Boy George’s debut collection with Castle Fine Art, ‘Yamamoto’ is a hypnotic portrait of the undisputed master of reinvention, David Bowie.

Boy George’s Bowie ‘obsession’ began as a child when he would repeatedly sketch him in art class at school. This fixation was cemented when, age 11, he saw Bowie perform on the Ziggy Stardust tour wearing his famed ‘Tokyo Pop’ bodysuit. Captivated by this vision of his idol, Boy George went on to create ‘Yamamoto’, his definitive portrait of David Bowie. Describing the image as ‘Tintin meets Ziggy Stardust’, Boy George named the artwork after the designer of the iconic bodysuit, Kansai Yamamoto.

The subjects featured in this limited-edition collection are some of the most pictured figures of the last 50 years; David Bowie, Madonna, Prince, Boy George. But what makes Boy George’s interpretation of them unique is perspective.  We’re seeing his vision of these icons from the eras that speak to him, helping us understand him at individual points in time.

Each are available individually, or as a set of four.
