Double O Seven

Live and Let Die!

In this piece, I’ve crafted a visual homage to the James Bond universe using a predominantly monochromatic palette punctuated by strategic red accents. My intention was to capture the essence of spy thriller cinematography through a fragmented, pop art approach.

The composition deliberately incorporates iconic Bond elements—the silhouetted figure in the red circle echoes the classic gun barrel sequence, while explosive starbursts reference action sequences and gadgetry. I’ve hidden Bond motifs throughout: a shark reminiscent of villain lairs, architectural fragments suggesting exotic locations, and angular shapes evoking weapons and technology.

The noir-inspired treatment reflects the shadowy world of espionage, with overlapping planes creating a sense of intrigue and hidden meanings. The visual language draws from both comic book aesthetics and cubism, breaking down the Bond mythology into interconnected symbols.

This work explores the tension between glamour and danger that defines the 007 universe, inviting viewers to navigate through a labyrinth of visual references that collectively celebrate the iconic spy genre’s visual heritage.
