Description
‘Marilyn Monroe & Brigitte Bardot’ is a dynamic fusion of collage art and street art, featuring iconic images of both starlets. Through the juxtaposition of their expressive faces, the work explores themes of fame, beauty, and the duality of public and private personas. Both Monroe and Bardot were cultural icons who embodied glamour. Yet they also carried the weight of being under constant scrutiny, which this collage reflects.
The layering of torn imagery, vibrant roses, and dripping black paint brings an urban, street-inspired edge to the composition. The use of graffiti-like elements, spray-painted textures, and splashes of colour adds rawness and a sense of rebellion. This piece combines the softness of beauty with the grit artistry. This creates a dialogue between the timeless allure of these women and the ephemeral nature of celebrity culture.
