Similarly installation artist Marco Lodola will pay his respect to Bowie using Ziggy Stardust as an inspiration for his mixed media and light box sculpture titled `Aladin`.

“David Bowie is an incredible icon; a term to be understood as an idol but also in the ancient Greek notion of eikÇ?¶n meaning “image” or even religious work of art. It is clear to see that he has influenced many lives, and every artist involved was proud to commission a piece in his honour` Jean-David Malat, Director Opera Gallery London

Additional highlights include Eduardo Guelfenbein`s large and striking abstract on canvas honouring David Bowie, with mesmerising strokes of acrylic exposing the hidden face of the icon when admired from afar. Simply magical.

And London`s very own Joe Black`s outstanding portrait of the singer made out of over 9,000 painted test tubes. A 3-dimensional artwork that will excite and surprise the viewers` eyes.

The new London art exhibition will be at Opera Gallery London 134 New Bond Streeet – June 21st- August 31st 2013.
