The work of an An Irish designer has been selected for the upcoming David Bowie exhibition at the V&A Museum in London.
Graphic designer Aiden Grenelle of Image Now was one of more than 100 artists to contribute to a screen-print for the retrospective of the singer’s career. The exhibition opens on Saturday.
It has been the fastest-selling showcase in history at the V&A with nearly 48,000 visitors having already booked tickets.
Aidan credits Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona as one of his major influences and has described the win as an honour.
"David Bowie was my first pin-up, musical hero so to be invited to contribute to this exhibition is an incredible honour" Grenelle said.
"My contribution celebrates Ziggy Stardust, the character that had the most impact on me as a teen. The Ziggy Stardust bodysuits from 1972, designed by Freddie Burretti, will also be on display as part of the exhibition". "Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars was the soundtrack of my art college years in Dundee during the mid-80's. And he's the artist I've returned to the most for pleasure and for inspiration. He is pop's greatest innovator without a doubt" he added.
