David Bowie 'Aladdin Sane' Style Portrait Painting

This item is an acrylic or oil painting on canvas depicting a stylized portrait of David Bowie, specifically referencing his iconic 'Aladdin Sane' persona. The portrait is rendered in a semi-realistic, pop-art inspired style, showing Bowie's profile looking towards the right side of the canvas. His skin tone is a light, naturalistic peach, while his hair is a vibrant reddish-pink, with visible brushstrokes creating texture and movement. A prominent feature is the red and blue lightning bolt painted across his right eye and extending down his cheek, characteristic of the 'Aladdin Sane' album cover art. The background consists of a gradient blue, fading from a darker, more saturated blue on the left to a lighter, almost ethereal blue on the right, with visible sweeping brushstrokes that create a sense of depth or energy behind the subject. The edges of Bowie's figure are outlined in black, giving the painting a graphic, illustrative quality. The canvas appears to be stretched over a wooden frame, typical for a painting of this type. There are no immediately visible condition issues such as tears, significant cracks, or extensive paint loss, though the texture of the paint suggests some impasto work. A small, illegible signature or initial appears on the bottom right edge of the painting, suggesting it is a unique piece of art. Given the subject matter and artistic style, it likely dates from the late 20th century onwards, possibly contemporary art inspired by a 1970s icon. The painting seems to be of amateur to semi-professional quality, demonstrating a clear artistic intent and recognizable rendition of the subject.
