The artwork titled “Self Portrait” was created by David Bowie in 1996 and belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement. The genre of this piece is a self-portrait.
The artwork features a bold and intense visage, with fierce, penetrative eyes that capture the observer’s attention immediately. The composition is characterized by strong, expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant interplay of colors, primarily focusing on the face and upper torso of the subject. The hair is highlighted with striking red tones, which juxtaposes sharply against the dark, shadowy background. The artist’s use of lines and color creates an almost fierce, raw intensity, emblematic of Neo-Expressionist style. The overall effect is one of profound emotional depth, reflecting the introspective and often turbulent nature of the self-portrait.
