Released as part of Boy George’s debut collection with Castle Fine Art, ‘Yamamoto’ is a hypnotic portrait of the undisputed master of reinvention, David Bowie.
Boy George’s Bowie ‘obsession’ began as a child when he would repeatedly sketch him in art class at school. This fixation was cemented when, age 11, he saw Bowie perform on the Ziggy Stardust tour wearing his famed ‘Tokyo Pop’ bodysuit. Captivated by this vision of his idol, Boy George went on to create ‘Yamamoto’, his definitive portrait of David Bowie. Describing the image as ‘Tintin meets Ziggy Stardust’, Boy George named the artwork after the designer of the iconic bodysuit, Kansai Yamamoto.
The subjects featured in this limited-edition collection are some of the most pictured figures of the last 50 years; David Bowie, Madonna, Prince, Boy George. But what makes Boy George’s interpretation of them unique is perspective. We’re seeing his vision of these icons from the eras that speak to him, helping us understand him at individual points in time.
Each are available individually, or as a set of four.
Find out more about Boy George’s debut collection for Castle Fine Art or take a look at Boy George’s artist page.

THE FINER DETAILS
Multi-step Production process.
Firstly, depending on the prints requirements, an initial print pass using archival pigments is used to map out the design (this has been used on “Colour By Numbers” and “Purple Reign” which then have silkscreen overlays). Two of the works, “Madame X” and “Yamamoto” are predominantly silkscreen. Next, sections are picked out using “glitter gloss”; a process which involves screening inks containing fine glitter suspended within. Further embellishment is then added to finish the works; this being a silkscreen varnish to pick out George’s black line work and silver leaf (silver leaf is used on “Madame X” and “Purple Reign).

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.
