Yes We Can Live In Peace

Description

‘Yes We Can Live in Peace’ is a signed limited edition Giclee print with Silkscreen and Glazes on Somerset Paper. Bonnie and Clyde is a contemporary British artist, whose mixed media collage and print-work centres around scenes of the urban imaginary. Employing a blend of photography, collage and paint, the emotive art of Bonnie and Clyde explores the psychogeography of the metropolis, immersing the viewer in beautiful and bizarre cityscapes. ‘Yes We Can All Live in Peace’ builds upon a series of self-taken photographs of the LA landscape, collaged together with magazine cuttings, highly saturated areas of colour, strips of pattern, paint, and graphic imagery, to represent the vivid, vibrant and chaotic nature of urban life. The result is a not-quite-real reality: through cut-up, bricolage perspective ‘Yes We Can All Live in Peace’ presents a dizzying, non-linear narrative of the dualistic city which is always banal as well as beautiful, terrifying while magnetic. By merging cityscapes and breaking with conventional perspective, Bonnie and Clyde’s print also breaks down received notions of global borders, celebrating travel, movement, and cultural diversity with a deft sensitivity to the relationship between the built environment and the natural landscape. The message is as clear as the little pink campervan in the background of the print: we can all live in peace, in this beautiful, messy world. 115cm x 82cm
