A Kiss From The Glittering Abyss (1)

Showcased as part of his debut collection with Castle Fine Art, ‘A Kiss From the Glittering Abyss (1)’ sees the artist reflect on his image and identity as ‘Boy George’.

Stripping away any adornments and accessories, we see a powerful image of three pink scarman figures. Looking at us with long lashes and full lips, Boy George’s scarman represents us all, healing from our own emotional wounds and tough experiences. These added facial features represent the characterisation of Boy George and the iconic image the public have come to expect. Featuring the word ‘POSE’ hand-painted across each figure, Boy George often compares embellishing his art to ‘getting them dressed up for the club’.

Boy George’s extraordinary collection of mixed media original and unique artworks are a sight to behold. Portraying a host of known and unknown icons, they explore themes of identity, transformation and judgement. A true maximalist, no material is off limits, resulting in visual feasts that pour out of the frame.
