This painting is my response to the idea that artists have to fit neatly into one category to be successful. Why are we expected to choose one lane and stay there? So I painted Phoebe Bridges through every style I’ve explored over the years. Inspired by the fragmented design of Bowie’s ‘Best Of Bowie’ album cover, each square of Phoebe’s face is painted in a different style from my own artistic career, comic book, pop art, photo realism, two tone and semi abstract. Every section represents a different version of me as an artist, all coming together to create one portrait of the amazing Pheobe.
