“ZIGGY PLAYED FOR TIME” • David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust Rock-Opera

SHAG created this iconic Limited Edition (100) serigraph of in 2024 and officially licensed and approved by the David Bowie Estate honoring Bowie’s rock-opera era of 1972-1973.

Ziggy Stardust, created and portrayed by David Bowie, is an androgynous, bisexual rock star who acts as an intergalactic messenger. Ziggy first arrives on Earth after learning, that Earth has five years left.

His first performance, where, he brings hope to the Earth, causes him to become incredibly popular among the Earth’s youth. As Ziggy and his backing band, The Spiders from Mars, become more popular, Ziggy’s ego alienates him from the other members of the Spiders. Ziggy begins acting erratically offstage, which causes the Spiders to disband. A washed-up Ziggy, having saved the Earth, faces his death while still trying to bring hope to his audience.

THE PROCESS OF CREATION: SHAG’s limited editions introduced in Budapest are produced using the silk-screen (serigraph) printing method. Serigraphy for additional color depth, saturation, density, and texture is a perfect match to SHAG’s painting style.

He has been collaborating with Kolibri Art Studio atelier in Los Angeles for decades for unparalleled quality at enormous sizes for always a small, limited edition of 200 serigraphs only. Anywhere from 10 to 25 colors (some colors are printed twice for optimum quality) with hand color separation, required 2 months to print since it is very labor-intensive to complete these unique editions. His media choice is always the US-made, 100% rag 2 or 4-ply “Rising Museum Board” brand, acid-free, thick archival paper, only with 5cm margins left outside the live area.

For the finish, SHAG requires a very expensive UV matte clear coat application which is made for silk-screen printing only, for preserving the extra longevity of the serigraph print.
