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. ‘FIVE Mini Print’ 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. ‘FIVE Mini Print’ depicts a wide, concrete promenade, lined with tall palm trees and peppered with detached modernist buildings. The overwhelming colour is dark grey, flecked with the green of the trees and the bright, splashy blue of the sky, for striking contrast. Bonnie and Clyde has artfully mixed photography with paint and collage techniques in ‘FIVE Mini Print’, to the extent that it is almost impossible to discern each medium from the other. The finished effect is bold, graphic and arresting. This print is signed by the artist.
