‘Angels and Liquor’ is an original collage by contemporary British artist Bonnie and Clyde. The work has been created on Indian Khaki Paper, and features raised, collage areas. Framed and hung on twine.
‘Angels and Liquor’ incorporates a series of self-taken photographs of the urban, LA landscape. Bonnie and Clyde has avoided typical depictions of the glamorous, plastic city, presenting, instead, something a little more human: the liquor stores and the camera shops; the clouded skies and deserted beaches; and the hints of societal inequalities, as a lone figure strides across an empty boulevard, a duvet draped across his back. The images are carefully collaged together with sections of paint, pigment and paper, arranged with chaotic perfection, to generate Bonnie and Clyde’s uniquely dizzying perspective of metropolitan life.
