Bonnie and Clyde has mastered the art of mixed media collage, blending photography with fine art until the lines of distinction disappear. At first glance, her brightly coloured brushstrokes often depicting modernist architecture, expanses of sea, and palm tree lined streets Are reminiscent of early Hockney. Closer inspection reveals the wealth of different techniques that Bonnie and Clyde has employed to unrivalled effect. ‘Choppy Intern’ was first released at the artrepublic Art Yard Sale on Sunday 5th June 2016, in which some of the biggest names in the contemporary art world came together in Brighton’s Jubilee Square, giving fans the chance to buy from the artists directly. ‘Choppy Intern’ is raw collage at its very best Bonnie and Clyde has used a photograph of a house and covered it with heavy brushstrokes of blue and grey, leaving only a trace of the photograph visible. Around this, Bonnie and Clyde has layered up a blue sky with white clouds, using different materials, styles and techniques for a blunt, choppy effect. The end result is bold and arresting, with its strong use of colour, collage and composition.
