David Bowie "Let's Dance"

About: In March 1983, David Bowie's "Let's Dance" hit the top of charts worldwide, marking his biggest mainstream success. The song's music video, filmed in Australia, highlighted the struggles of Aboriginal Australians, weaving a powerful message into its narrative.

This art print captures the essence of that iconic record and its cultural impact.At the heart of the artwork, a pair of striking red shoes draws the eye, reflecting the song's lyrics and the video's deep theme. These shoes symbolize the clash between consumer capitalism and the challenges faced by the Aboriginal community, while also nodding to the culturally significant film "Red Shoes."

Set against a backdrop of an Australian map, the print honors the video's filming location in Carinda, a small town in New South Wales. The red shoes, screen-printed with care, echo Andy Warhol's "Halston" shoe series from the early 1980s, adding a layer of artistic homage.
