Donald Trump Ziggy by Raymond

Description & Inspiration

n this provocative pop-art portrait, Raymond reimagines Donald Trump through the lens of David Bowie’s legendaryAladdin Sane lightning bolt. The face is dominated by a red-and-blue star-spangled bolt, transforming Trump into a cultural commentary on fame, politics, and the spectacle of power. The clash between pop culture iconography and political persona creates a bold and satirical statement.

Technique & Materials

The work is executed in Raymond’s unique fusion of acrylic pouring energy. The grayscale rendering of Trump’s face is contrasted by the vivid, patriotic lightning bolt – an unmistakable reference to Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust era. The stark black background further amplifies the clash of symbols.

Impact & Meaning

This artwork questions the boundaries between celebrity and political authority. The Bowie bolt – normally a symbol of artistic rebellion – here becomes a mask of power, irony, and transformation. It pushes viewers to reflect on the theater of politics and the role of media in shaping icons.
