1976 - The Visitor: “Based on Bowie’s appearance in ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’, the background is a star map representing the extra-terrestrial origins of Thomas Jerome Newton in the film. I didn’t realise until I finished the piece that the constellation of ‘Chameleon’ is prominent on his face, which is very appropriate because of the well-known media cliché that Bowie was himself a chameleon.” - Louis Sidoli
