Legend of Leigh Bowery (The)

Atlas Charles

Australian performer Leigh Bowery is the artist who inspired the London underground movement of the 80s. Custom creator for Boy George, model for the painter Lucian Freud, he was at all the trash parties of the time and creator of outrageous clothes that redefined the image of the day. Inspired by the rhetoric of the day, Leigh Browery fulfilled his life through his art,. His subject was himself, his body, his medium and tools, make-up and clothes.
