Chairman Mick David Baileyhttp://bae-fs.blockchainartexchange.io/e4/a1/e4a17e72-64c7-4c19-9e51-bdf5418ae458-thumb.jpghttp://bae-fs.blockchainartexchange.io/protected/e4/a1/e4a17e72-64c7-4c19-9e51-bdf5418ae458-thumb.jpgChairman mick, this work was created by Bailey of his good friend mick Jagger in 1970. Bailey felt the mass excitement and following of the rolling stones could only be matched by devotion that the Chinese at the time showed chairman Mao and so chairman Mick was born.
From his 60’s Box of Pinups to Stardust (2014) and everything else in between, David Bailey is an undisputed British icon. There is so much
that can be said about Bailey and his continuous work over the decades but here we are focusing predominantly on his most recent work.
Bailey's vision has always extended far beyond his portrait and fashion photography, he is an explorer at heart, whether it be for far reaching
locations like Naga Land or the internal reflections of the human condition. Bailey seems to extract core emotion out of his subjects in a way
that shows their inner beauty or the monster that can hide within. Those Bailey chooses to photograph often find themselves seeing things
about themselves from a new angle.
Bailey's’ Paintings take on a different tone to his photography, he lays bare his innermost turmoil for the world to see. Bailey’s childhood
fears often take centre stage in his paintings, scenes of Hitler looming over bombed out dream scapes being a common motif. These are often
thought provoking musings on the nature of memory damaged by an external force.
The other side of David's painting is primal in nature, in these pieces he attempts to clear his mind, leaving his ego behind. In both styles there is a sense of dystopian surrealism, sometimes
disturbing and sometimes humorous in which Bailey reflects on his past and his present in interesting and surprising ways.
