Why we do it
The inspiration for starting-up Places & Spaces Art Co. came from our road trip around California and Nevada, in 2015. We’d already visited some amazing countries and cities over the previous ten years together, but there was something so cool and diverse about this trip. From the beach-life of Venice and Santa Monica, to the mountains of Yosemite to the winding desert roads of Death Valley. We saw and photographed so many incredible sights and we wanted to create our own unique mementos of this trip. Upon returning to London, we began to create our own collection of travel art, based on our shared travels and inspired by vintage travel posters and collage artists such as David Hockney.
Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood
Our first stop was Hollywood, home of so many iconic sights and a melting pot of celebrity culture, faded glamour, with a sleazy underbelly. Luxury hotel, Chateau Marmont is across the road from an old-school strip club, which are both a short walk from the legendary Viper Room and Comedy Store. All flanked by palm trees reaching-up to that flawless Californian sky.
In our Sunset Blvd. print we wanted to bring together the sleaze and glamour of Hollywood, by combining several of the landmarks we visited and bringing them together on one print.
