David Bowie s widow Iman has shared images of a previously unseen painting that the musician created in 2014 check it out below.
The only previous sighting of the painting in question had been as a partially-obscured backdrop to a series of portraits of Bowie by the photographer Jimmy King at around the same time.
The abstract painting is dazzlingly vibrant splash of yellow and blue and appears to be personally signed by the music legend, who passed away in January 2016.

In 2021, another painting by Bowie that was bought for just £3 fetched over £60,000 at auction. The piece dated back to 1997 and was part of a series of 47 portraits that Bowie worked on around that time.
In other Bowie news, his 1974 album Diamond Dogs was reissued in May to mark its 50th anniversary. The album, made in the absence of regular guitarist Mick Ronson, saw Bowie playing taking the lead on the instrument himself, and was made in the aftermath of his failed attempts to adapt Orwell s Nineteen Eighty-Four and a project based on the writing of William S. Burroughs.
Another gem from the Bowie archive was made available for Record Store Day this year in the form of Waiting In The Sky (Before The Starman Came To Earth), a collection of recordings from Trident Studios in 1971 of songs that would go on to form the Ziggy Stardust album a year later.
In April, long-time Bowie collaborator Brian Eno spoke about the powerful experience of reworking their song Get Real for a new climate change-inspired album project Sounds Right .
A street in Paris was also named after the singer at the start of the year, while one of his handwritten lyric sheets was estimated to fetch up to £100,000 at auction.
