David Bowie - A London Day

Published: 16 Mar 2024
We had the unique opportunity to explore the David Bowie—A London Day exhibition at The Fitzrovia Chapel. This one-of-a-kind exhibition presents a series of photographs of David Bowie, all captured by Kevin Davies during a single day in 1992.

The exhibition is curated by Dylan Jones, and it is free to attend until it closes on 20/3.

The exhibition showcases 24 captivating photographs of David Bowie, including fourteen individual prints, two diptychs, and two triptychs, offering a diverse and engaging visual experience. The location, Fitzrovia Chapel, is perfect for this kind of event, allowing the photos to stand out from the gorgeous interior of the chapel and setting the mood for quiet contemplation and admiration of the works. Quiet contemplation is, in fact, the mood of David Bowie in many of the images.

The Fitzrovia Chapel is a Grade II-listed building originally built as the chapel for Middlesex Hospital that was demolished in 2008. The chapel was designed in 1891 by renowned Victorian architect John Loughborough Pearson and completed in the early 1930s. It was later restored and opened to the public in September 2015. The Gothic style influenced the chapel design. One of the most fascinating elements of the interior is the beautiful golden ceiling mosaics over the altar.

Finally, some photos from the exhibition below. Our pictures don’t do justice for these magnificent photos and you can buy these straight from the photographer on his Kevin Davies Studio website.
