Russell Young & Mick Rock — David Bowie: three prints

David Bowie: three prints

Three striking silkscreen prints by Russell Young, based on legendary rock photographer Mick Rock's iconic imagery of David Bowie, rendered in Young's signature high-contrast, Pop Art-inflected style. Published in 2008 by Bankrobber, London, each print exists as a printer's proof from a limited edition of 20, with the two proof copies numbered PP 1/2 and PP 2/2. The works capture Bowie's chameleonic persona through bold color combinations and the grainy, amplified texture characteristic of Young's celebrated screenprint technique.

Medium
all signed, dated `2008' and numbered `PP 1/2' and `PP 2/2' in pencil (printer's proofs, the edition was 20 for each color combination), published by Bankrobber, London, all framed.
