Hand-signed Mixed Media with Glitter Gloss Limited Edition by Boy George.
Creative icon Boy George reveals an intimate insight into his life of self-curation and unapologetic style in this artwork.
‘Desperate To Come Out’ channels the spirit of Boy George’s lifelong performance of self, expressed through music, fashion and art. The punk-inspired figure stands boldly, its starkly contrasting hair and skin reminiscent of the artist’s New Romantic style, in which he decorated his face, neck and ears with purposely lurid colour.
The piece bursts with character, echoing the vitality and expressive power of Boy George’s distinctive aesthetic. Accentuated details like a button for an eye, exaggerated lashes and the veil of glitter serve as signatures of his personal style.
Part of the collection, Punky Doodle Dandies, this artwork is one half of a twin set. Its counterpart ‘Free Me Now’ can be positioned alongside this piece to capture twin characters with mirrored expressions, a celebration of duality, transformation and self-expression.
This artwork is a Mixed Media limited edition with Glitter Gloss on Somerset Satin 410gsm paper hand-signed by Boy George.

The artist
Boy George
Boy George is a pure creative. For him, art is everything.
Influenced by people from his past and present, and visions in nature and architecture, his art is quintessentially Boy George - loud, vivid, punk, iconic. Sometimes representing a specific person, sometimes representing us all, each piece tells a story. A story that we must discover for ourselves.
