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. ‘Peace Van’ 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. ‘Peace Van’ is alluringly simple Bonnie and Clyde has taken a photograph of a large van, placed it onto a white background and layered soft daubs of powder pink over the image. Onto the van she has painted a large, black peace sign with the words in white ‘YES WE CAN LIVE IN PEACE’. The print is powerful in its direct simplicity and beautiful in its stripped back minimalism and soft, harmonious palette. This print is signed by the artist.
