The artwork titled “I am a World Champion” was created by David Bowie in 1977. This piece is a portrait that belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement.
The artwork prominently features a vividly rendered portrait of a male figure, utilizing a bold and dynamic color palette characteristic of the Neo-Expressionist style. The subject’s face is depicted in striking shades of green, blue, and orange, set against a dark, abstract background. The intense use of color and the roughly applied brushstrokes create a sense of emotional depth and intensity. The figure appears to be in profile, with a contemplative and determined expression, possibly embodying the triumph suggested by the artwork’s title. The environment around the subject is somewhat indistinct, composed of dark tones interspersed with splashes of brighter colors, enhancing the focus on the figure itself.
