Arguably the most influential model in BUGATTI’s storied lineup, the Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe stands as a paragon of automotive luxury, exclusivity, and innovation. Considered one of the most precious automobiles ever produced, this masterpiece of design has long encapsulated a unique fusion of artistry and engineering that is still revered to this day. Only four of these cars were ever created between 1936 and 1938, with just three surviving to the present day, and each one has earned a reputation as one of the most valuable vehicles in the world, both in monetary value and historical significance. The Type 57SC was remarkable for its time and continues to be so, showcasing design features and performance metrics that were decidedly futuristic. Brought to life under the vision of Jean Bugatti, this awe-inspiring Coupe continues to captivate designers and car enthusiasts alike, serving as a perennial source of inspiration in the world of automotive design. The enduring legacy of the Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe is a testament to its revolutionary role in shaping automotive history, its influence felt across generations of vehicles that followed. Today, it symbolises not only BUGATTI’s illustrious heritage, but also the pinnacle of what a luxury automobile can achieve in terms of beauty, performance, and timeless appeal.

Amalgam Collection and Alan Thornton

Amalgam is delighted to partner with artist Alan Thornton to introduce a collection of BUGATTI Type 57SC Atlantic prints. Precise and technical in nature, these prints isolate the subject, laying the image onto Alan’s signature metallic background, that focuses the viewer’s eye on the sculptural, organic qualities of iconic cars and planes. Alan’s obsession with form, function and beauty, combined with his enduring passion for all things automotive and mechanical, align perfectly with Amalgam’s mission.

The Process

A reprographic technique that simulates continuous-tone imagery through the use of dots, thus generating a gradient-like effect, Alan's Half Tone artwork brings his traditional approach to screen printing into the contemporary digital world. Applied directly on to the brushed aluminium composite panels, the ink is then cured by a UV light that bonds it to the surface of the substrate, resulting in a resistant and long-lasting work of art that can even be displayed in outdoor exhibitions. This approach opens up endless ways to add texture and depth by building the image up in multiple layers, very much like the screen-printing process. The finished image is waterproof and very resistant to abrasion, so that there is no need to protect the art behind glass. The piece can be hung without a frame, creating a sharp and minimal presentation of the art floating less than an inch (15 mms) off of the wall. The piece can also be traditionally framed and hung if desired. Alan’s work in this medium brings exceptional precision, intensity, and glamour to the finished art.

Handling Your Print

Half Tone Flat Bed prints are supplied with a subframe attached to the back, enabling immediate ‘float’ effect hanging on the wall. The finished image is waterproof and very resistant to abrasion, so that there is no need to protect the art behind glass.
