The Goblin King is a tribute to the unforgettable character portrayed by David Bowie in the cult-classic film Labyrinth. Painted in a restrained palette with selective accents of deep blue, the work captures both the theatrical mystique and commanding presence of the character. The monochromatic treatment allows the dramatic costume, iconic hairstyle, and piercing gaze to take center stage, while textured brushwork in the jacket creates a subtle, almost cosmic shimmer—echoing the surreal world he rules.
The crystal spheres, rendered with reflective highlights, symbolize illusion, control, and enchantment—hallmarks of the Goblin King’s spellbinding persona. This piece balances portraiture with storytelling, inviting viewers into a moment of cinematic nostalgia and fantasy.
Perfect for collectors of music history, film culture, and bold statement pieces, this painting celebrates artistry that transcends genre—where performance, character, and myth converge.
