‘Cocktail Hour’ is an Original Mixed Media Collage on Birch Plywood by contemporary British artist Bonnie and Clyde. The piece is framed and signed by the artist.
‘Cocktail Hour’ repurposes a plethora of materials, from layers of screen print, to plywood and fabric, creating thick texture and finish. Fusing retro visuals with contemporary processes, the piece captures the spirit of LA: late night cocktail culture is imagined through an assemblage of images, from a 1950s television set, to arrow signs in bright lights, while sections of abstract paint lift the grey vista of palm tree-lined boulevards. Recalling the work of Robert Rauschenberg, ‘Cocktail Hour’ gives voice to the American imaginary with innovative style.
