Boy George has done portraits of his musical heroes: Bowie, Madonna, Prince… himself
He’s not just a karma chameleon, he’s an arts chameleon too. As well as being one of the biggest pop stars of the 1980s, Boy George is also a visual artist, and his latest collection of artworks includes portraits of some very famous musicians.
Boy George has had exhibitions of his paintings before, many of which celebrate underground, unknown heroes from the 1980s club scene. But in this his first collection of limited edition prints, he’s going big instead, and pressing some very populist buttons. There are no unknowns here: the four figures depicted are David Bowie, Prince, Madonna and Boy George himself. All are rendered in bright colours with thick, bold lines. It’s very pop art, very simple.
