“Let’s Dance” David Bowie by Louis Sidoli

About this piece: Released in March 1983, “Let’s Dance” became the biggest selling single of David Bowie’s career, topping the charts in numerous countries, including the UK and the US. The song’s iconic music video, filmed in Australia, provided commentary on the treatment of Aboriginal Australians. The red shoes in the artwork represent the lyrics from the song and the theme of the video, where they were used to symbolise the clash between consumer capitalism and Aboriginal hardship. The artwork features a map of Australia in the background, where the video was filmed in small New South Wales town called Carinda. The red shoe prints in the artwork are also a nod to Andy Warhol who silkscreened very similar “Halston” shoes in the early 1980’s.

Supplied from a Limited Edition of just 20 it is hand signed and numbered by the artist, with a certificate of authenticity.

80’s Sweet Dreams Online Exhibition is a new collection of fine art prints by Louis Sidoli celebrating some of the most iconic artists and best loved singles of the 1980’s. This collection is visually linked by the ‘circle within a square’ theme, which represents a vinyl record in its sleeve. Sketches of each artist are combined with maps, text and graphics, which tell the story of each track.

“I named this collection after one of my favourite singles of the 1980’s – “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics. I loved the electronic sound, the lyrics and the surreal imagery of the video.”

— Louis Sidoli
