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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmalgam Collection and Alan Thornton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmalgam 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece features a meticulously executed platinum‑gilded finish, achieved through the decorative application of metal to the Half Tone Flat Bed print in thin layers, creating a unique richness to the piece. Each sheet of platinum leaf is applied entirely by hand, using a special adhesive known as size to give the appearance of solid platinum and a seamless visual continuity. No two applications are ever the same; each carries its own subtle character, shaped by the steady hand and practiced judgement of the artisan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling Your Print\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalf Tone Flat Bed prints are supplied with a subframe attached to the back, enabling immediate ‘float’ effect hanging on the wall.
