ArtistSoviet reinterpretation of David Bowie's Aladdin Sane artwork. A frontal, iconic portrait of a young Soviet pioneer — pale-faced, wearing a white shirt and a faded red necktie (pionerskiy galstuk). Across their face, a crude red lightning bolt is painted diagonally, echoing the original. The child stares blankly, as if drained or mesmerized. Behind them on the wall hangs a framed portrait of David Bowie in his middle age, wearing a tuxedo with a bowtie, slightly crooked, catching a sliver of cold light. The background is soft grey or textured wallpaper, like in a Soviet school photo. The image is stark, melancholic, quietly unsettling. Film grain, soft blur, muted colors. Soviet surrealism meets glam iconography.
