{"product_id":"david-bowie-painting","title":"David Bowie painting","description":"\u003cp class=\"standfirst\"\u003eDavid Bowie never seemed content with being just one person. Musician, performer, actor and relentless shape-shifter, he spent his career turning reinvention into an art form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis slightly abstract portrait captures some of that mystery and transformation. Expressive brushwork, layered colour and fractured details allow Bowie’s face to emerge through the marks, creating something more distinctive than a conventional celebrity portrait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI created the original artwork on my iPad, digitally combining different painting techniques before printing it onto a wood panel. I then worked back into the image by hand, adding real paint, drips and physical textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finished piece sits somewhere between a digital portrait and a traditional mixed-media painting. Its rich colours, visible brush marks and hand-applied details give the surface genuine depth, making every copy slightly different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt would make a distinctive gift for any David Bowie fan, music lover or collector of expressive portrait art — particularly someone who wants something with more character than a conventional poster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI only have two copies of this artwork. Each one is finished individually by hand, so the paint marks and finer details will vary slightly from the image shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: The painting will be sent using Royal Mail 48. Delivery usually takes 2–3 working days from dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePRINT INFO\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artwork begins as a 12-colour Giclée print mounted onto a wood panel before being individually finished by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDELIVERY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard UK delivery is free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMATERIALS AND PRINT TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinting method: 12-colour Giclée\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Wood panel and mixed-media details\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Matt\u003cbr\u003eSustainability: Paper or wood sourced from FSC-approved forests\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePACKAGING\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artwork will be carefully wrapped in protective bubble wrap and placed inside sturdy cardboard packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/6178\/1554\/files\/david-bowie-painting.webp?v=1787330541\" alt=\"David Bowie painting\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon Stratford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51619446456626,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/6178\/1554\/files\/0005_Davidbowie001oilpainting.webp?v=1787330229","url":"https:\/\/simonstratford.com\/products\/david-bowie-painting","provider":"Simon Stratford","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
