BLACKSTAR - David Bowie by HOKE Studio

A striking monochrome portrait that captures the hypnotic patterning of a zebra in abstracted close-up. Silver Veil distills the animal's form into sweeping black lines and soft gradients, evoking a sense of quiet majesty and elusive presence. The composition invites the viewer to lose themselves in the rhythmic flow of stripes — less a depiction of a zebra, more a meditation on movement, contrast, and concealment. Rendered with graphic precision and a minimalist edge, this piece balances wildness and refinement in a way that’s signature Verdi: bold, pared back, and hauntingly elegant. —
