Leigh Bowery

A performance artist famous for his makeup, performances, and cross dressing routines. When watching the documentary in Santiagos class, I was amazed by the power he holds in his performances.  The power of persuasion he used as an artist to display wonderful talent in bold acts and be not ashamed.

Though I question his stunts, like flying on a cord and accidental going through a pane glass window naked and cutting himself up. Still I admire how Leigh Bowery as an artist is abstract in everything he does and tries to show a stand against the opposition of the norm. He did reveal a lot of charisma to the homosexuals to be themselves by his abstract cross dressing and give unique sense overall to have fun and express who you are.

With his poka-dotted makeup and costume, it was an example of bringing out the fear of Hiv and Aids into an artistic expression that shows the world not to hide the disease but express it and live on with your life.
