White Cloth Visit - Brian Duffy


We visited the White Cloth Gallery and saw the Brian Duffy exhibition. It was photographs shot on 5 different sessions between 1972 and 1980 of musician David Bowie. The work is being shown for the first time ever in the UK after the release of Bowie’s new album this year.

I liked the photographs as they showed different sides to the person which was interesting. He looks like a different person in each of the images. Some were in colour and others were in black and white which was good to see when walking around the gallery as it broke it up a bit and didn’t get boring. I liked the images of him having his makeup put on, as it was good to see the process then the final result.  It was also good to see the real person before the character. All the images were different sizes which for this exhibition I think works well because all the images are of different kind of characters and so the sizes reflect the difference in the images rather than just all being the same size.
