The Story
Size:29 x 37 in.
Bradley Theodore’s "Bowie Rising Sun", an original painting on paper measuring 22" x 30", is a vibrant homage to the legendary David Bowie. The artwork captures the essence of the iconic musician through Theodore’s signature use of bold, gestural brushstrokes and a strikingly vivid palette. Against a rich crimson background, Bowie’s stylised portrait emerges with piercing green eyes and expressive features, accentuated by splashes of turquoise, pink, and yellow. The piece radiates a sense of energy and creativity, mirroring the pioneering spirit that defined Bowie’s career.
Theodore’s abstraction strips away unnecessary detail, focusing on mood and identity. By using a dynamic interplay of colour and form, he encapsulates Bowie’s transformative influence on music and culture, emphasising his individuality and avant-garde persona. The red background, reminiscent of a rising sun, symbolises a new dawn, perfectly aligning with Bowie’s reputation as a perpetual innovator.
Born in the Turks and Caicos Islands and raised in Miami, Bradley Theodore developed a self-taught style deeply influenced by Miami’s vibrant colours and the creative energy of New York City, where he embarked on his artistic journey. Known for his iconic skeleton motif, Theodore has gained international acclaim for his ability to blend figuration with abstraction. His works, which include murals and portraits of cultural icons, reimagine familiar figures with a fresh, contemporary perspective.
Theodore’s rise to fame began with street art murals on New York’s Lower East Side, leading to collaborations with brands like PUMA and Moët & Chandon. His art transcends traditional gallery spaces, bringing a sense of accessibility and emotion to his subjects. "Bowie Rising Sun" exemplifies Theodore’s mission to celebrate individuality and creativity, making this piece a striking addition to his dynamic body of work.
