The Urban Quiet series marks a shift in how Bonnie and Clyde works with her own photography — rather than the photographic image being absorbed into a densely layered collage print, here it is the foundation of an original mixed media work, acrylic and collage applied to linen stretched over birch ply, framed in an oak tray and ready to hang.
Sleeping Here finds its subject in the beauty and strangeness of city life at rest — the urban space at a moment of quiet that the city itself doesn't normally offer. Burnley's travel photographs feed these originals, her Leica having documented cities across California, Cuba, Europe and Japan over many years. The linen and birch ply give these originals a physical weight and permanence that paper-based works don't have. Framed, ready to hang, exclusively at Print Club London. £1,150.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde is an artist and printmaker who uses photography, paint, collage and print to construct graphic mixed media pieces. These deeply personal creations are born of a fascination with street photography, psychogeography, people and signage – and draw inspiration from her loves in life including music, film, typography and architecture.
Having studied 3D Design at Kingston University Bonnie and Clyde set up her own graphic design business in Manchester, producing everything from posters, tee-shirts and book sleeves to websites and full festival campaigns. With these design sensibilities under her belt she now lives and works in Brighton.
Bonnie and Clyde’s exhibits in a number of galleries in London and across the UK as well as internationally in cities including Brussels, Stockholm and Berlin.
She has had solo shows at Lawrence Alkin Gallery in Soho, London, Lilford Gallery in Canterbury and Leeds College of Art.
‘The Strip’ was used as catalogue image and for promotional material for the prestigious exhibition ‘Subterraneans’ exploring beat culture, showing alongside idols such as Richard Prince, Marcel Duchamp, Roy Lichtenstein, Sam Taylor-Johnson and Yoko Ono.
