About: This artwork evokes the live "Space Oddity" performance by David Bowie during his 1974 North American Diamond Dogs tour , where he was often elevated above the audience on a cherry picker, singing into a phone prop as Major Tom reaching out into the void.
With his signature flame-orange hair, mint-green shirt, red braces, and bright blue trousers, he sits on stage holding the red telephone to his ear, a traditional symbol of urgent communication - his eyes closed in quiet reflection.
The central themes of the song / performance are isolation, alienation, and detachment. Major Tom’s physical separation from Earth mirrors emotional or psychological disconnection: from society, relationships, purpose, or even one’s sense of self. The final lines convey a calm, almost accepting resignation in the face of the vast unknown (“Planet Earth is blue / And there’s nothing I can do”)
Set against the backdrop of Planet Earth in a star-filled cosmos and illuminated by dramatic stage spotlights, the image preserves the vibe of Bowie’s theatrical 1974 presence. In this artwork, the red phone becomes a hotline to the Divine, while Bowie holds a rosary in his free hand, transforming the call into a personal conversation with something greater.

About:
In March 1983, David Bowie's "Let's Dance"became his most mainstream achievement by soaring to the top of charts worldwide. The song's music video, filmed in Australia, shed light on the struggles faced by Aboriginal Australians.
The artwork masterfully captures the compelling story of this iconic record and the message it conveyed. At its heart, a striking pair of glass neon red shoes command attention, not only embodying the song's lyrics but also encapsulating the video's poignant theme. The shoes symbolize the collision between consumer capitalism and the hardships experienced by the Aboriginal community. They also reference the film "Red Shoes," renowned for its cultural significance.
Set against a backdrop of Australia's map, the artwork pays homage to the video's location in Carinda, a tiny town nestled in New South Wales. This visual representation adds depth and contextual relevance to the piece, immersing viewers in the location where the narrative unfolded.
Furthermore, art enthusiasts will find clever nods to Andy Warhol woven into the composition. The red shoes, meticulously screen-printed on aluminium, harken back to Warhol's iconic "Halston" shoe series from the early 1980s. Additionally, an allusion to Warhol's early 1960s works is found through the inclusion of a dance manual teaching how to “Dance The Blues”.
