DISTRICT 6 Installation: Computer treated photographs on South African Hairdressing Boards and storage container art covered an internally-mirrored child's coffin. David Bowie: New Afro/Pagan And Work 1975-1995. Exhibition: The Gallery, 28 Cork Street, London, England on 18th - 29th April 1995. *DB: "It was a black community in the midst of a white suburb and so the government of that time cleared it out and transplanted everybody to the other side of Tabal Mountain, and the area has been left totally abandoned. The coffin was really in mourning of that particular small plot of land. If you look through the peep-hole there's a vignette going on inside there, an Afrikaner figure at the back, and ritualistic columns topped with small African heads. And on the radio underneath I put together a tape of very early '50s music from Miriam Makeba. I interviewed her while I was there and put splices of her dialogue in between the songs. One recurrent phrase was Mandela telling her that, if you're negotiating with an adversary, is always to forgive, but never forget!" |

DB: "Jon was once a crew member on my tours. A simple man but not without wit.

Exhibition: The Gallery, 28 Cork Street, London on 18th - 29th April 1995. *DB: "Little Stranger, Metal Hearth And The Black Coat" is a standard oil painting, four-and-a-half feet by three-and-a-half. In 1993 my wife (Iman) and I went to Dorset and the West Country for a month - I love the West Country - the whole thing, Stratford-Upon-Avon, the Cotswolds, visiting the apocryphal haunts of King Arthur, his supposed burial place and so on. We ended up in St. Ives in Cornwall and visited the Bernard Leach pottery. This is a back view of Iman in her black coat looking into the kiln. The little stranger is a haunting little figure, a small Japanese pottery figure, Haniwa I think, pre-historic, recessed in the wall. I painted it later from sketches and photographs - I'm not what they call a plain air painter." |

MONKING 8" x 8" Miniature Acrylic 1997 Eight By Eight. Exhibition: The Model Modern Art Gallery (1934), Pallant House, 9 North Pallant, Chichester, Sussex on 5th August - 11th October 1997. |
*Brochure quote: The Model Modern Art Gallery (1934) was the brain child of Sidney Burney, a progressive but sadly forgotten gallery owner who mounted excellent exhibitions in the 1930s. Burney asked leading artists of the day to produce tiny works for a miniature model gallery - a "doll's house", sized 6 x 6 foot. Go along to Chichester's Pallant House and peek at this rare microcosm of modern English painting and sculpture with works with Barbara Hepworth, Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Henry Moore and many others. Burney's idea has been brought bang up to date with some of today's leading artists, including David Bowie, Beryl Cook and Anthony Green, showing small works (maximum 8" x 8") alongside the Model Gallery. |
MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL POSTER Computer Print 1995 *David Bowie had been commissioned by the committee of the Montreux Jazz Festival to design the artwork for the 29th Montreux Jazz Festival Poster. It is based loosely on the 50th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and the effects it has had upon all of our lives. Visually it includes a simplistic graphic of the dropping of the atomic bomb, an "M" symbol intimating power and a mysterious female figure "Ramona A. Stone", a character David has been building into a number of recent works. |
The 50th Anniversary of the Dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima. DB: "Since the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima in 1945, the idea of an apocalyptic process has fully integrated itself into our consciousness. This suggested "violence transience" co-exists with feelings of chaos-surfing in the way we perceive our social condition. There seems to be no moral authority. The trusted canons of truth seem to have collapsed. There are no natural conclusions to the events in our lives. Even public memory is contested memory. Many see the dropping of the atomic bomb as the beginning of nuclear proliferation. Others saw it as the most rational way to stop an ever escalating war. Some have no knowledge of the event at all. The poster I created for the Montreux Jazz Festival incorporates layering, juxtaposition and image manipulation, all managed in a Mac computer. The main subjects of the poster are: 1. A simplistic graphic of the dropping of an atomic bomb circa 1946: The sea-scape content of this illustration gave me an impression of Lake Geneva, this presenting an ambiguous focal point. 2. An "M" symbol: The "M" symbol placed at the centre of a small explosion-cloud has a resonance that intimates power. This can be interpreted as the positive power of music or the negative power of nuclear warfare. There is also a vague allusion to other famous "M" symbols. MacDonalds or MTV for instance. 3. The female figure of "Ramona A. Stone": Ramona is a character that I've been incorporating into a number of recent work projects. She is powerful looking, subversive and extremely in touch with a fragmented society. She is both participant and creator. A member of society or its destroyer. Overall, the unpredictable nature of the combined images in the poster produce a sense of unease. For me, the poster suggests both the festivity of the event itself but also resurrects the specter of an unwilling alliance we have made with destructive forces. As in any social confrontation, it contains contradictory information. It is not presented as the pairing of dichotomies but, rather, as a full spectrum. It can be seen as a merging of cultural conditions rather than their polarization." DAVID BOWIE. **Poster 30cm x 43cm reproduced on Arches Art Paper in a special edition of 250, signed and numbered. £195. |
