- First comprehensive monograph on the artist's work- Spans four
decades and includes all major paintings, sculpture and drawingsEveryone
should own a Beezy Bailey - David Bowie. Beezy Bailey aspires to create
art as a balm for a mad world - a corrective for our most lamentable
human qualities, including a planet brutalized by extremes of wealth and
poverty, environmental ignorance and negligence. Often his works are
accompanied by poems, such as 1000 Year Dance Cure, in which he exhorts
the world to dance a new dance, to abandon that which does not serve us,
and to embrace each other in our humanity, and the Earth in her service
to us. The sources of his imagery are elusive. In his own words: frozen
dreams, images and legends enter from my subconscious, the realm of my
imagination. I act as a conduit for visual messages greater than I am.
This new monograph embraces the entire spectrum of Bailey's creative
output over the past thirty-five years, from sculpture and ceramics to
paintings, prints and drawings. Contents: Foreword by Brian Eno;
Introduction by Richard Cork; Works; In Conversation with Roslyn Sulcas;
Selected Exhibitions; Index; Credits.
