Station to Station

I was asked to take part in the Pin Ups exhibition as part of the Dublin Bowie Festival 2017. I was asked to illustrate two songs picked by relevant broadcasters and musicians.

Station to Station is cryptic and complex and there are many stories about it: references to astrology, occultism, Alistair Crowley, train travel... I read an interview where Bowie mentioned the song being about his music career and the struggle to get from hit to hit. I made a strong central composition of Bowie as a Christ Pantocrator with the journey between songs as the main background feature.
