STORY

In The Leslie, Charlotte Fonne creates an artwork that captures the architecture of one of Miami Beach’s iconic Art Deco hotels on Ocean Drive and its surroundings through her layered photographic technique. The fusion of the geometric architecture with carefully selected local elements, including palm tree leaves, umbrellas, beach cabanas, warm sand, and sun reflections in the ocean, forms a visual exploration rich in detail. A closer shot of the façade adds a graphic rhythm and yellow color in the sky. This fine art photography print celebrates Miami’s Art Deco heritage and the energy of South Beach.

Each image used to create this artwork is personally photographed by Charlotte Fonne, ensuring a genuine and unique piece.

I print my artwork on Fuji Crystal DP II, a premium gallery-quality photo paper known for its luminous colors, crisp details, and remarkable longevity. This professional-grade paper is known for its ability to reproduce deep contrasts and vibrant hues, ensuring a striking visual impact.

Fuji Crystal DP II has an extremely wide color gamut and is designed to be non-fade for at least 75 years, offering lasting brilliance. The glossy finish enhances the depth and vibrancy of the artwork, creating an immersive viewing experience.

Acrylic Glass Mounting

Depth and Protection.

To enhance both durability and presentation, the photo print is mounted under glossy acrylic glass and backed with sturdy aluminum Dibond. This high-end mounting technique intensifies colors, adds depth, and provides a sleek, modern finish suitable for any space. Acrylic glass is lightweight, shatterproof, and resistant to temperature fluctuations. It protects the artwork while amplifying its brilliance, making it an excellent choice for a lasting display.

  1. Acrylic Glass: Glossy, 1/16 in. (2 mm)
  2. Photo Print: Fuji Crystal DP II with silicone sealant
  3. Backing: Sturdy aluminum Dibond backing

This premium combination of materials ensures the artwork maintains brilliance and integrity for decades to come.

Floater Frame

This custom-made solid hardwood frame creates a unique visual effect with a gap between the image and the frame, giving the impression that your artwork is levitating. The contemporary design is both elegant and subtle, enhancing the presence of the piece without overwhelming it. Available in two colors, black or white, the frame complements a variety of styles.

  • Frame Width: 0.6 in. (15 mm)
  • Frame Depth: 1.14 in. (29 mm)
  • Frame Shadow Gap: 0.27 in. (7 mm)

  • Effortless setup: Just two nails, screws, or hooks are all you need.
  • Durable and stable: The mounting system ensures your piece stays securely in place for long-lasting display.

Certificate of Authenticity

When you purchase a limited edition artwork with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), you’re getting something truly special:

  • Exclusivity and Value: Only a limited number of these pieces are ever made, making each one rare and unique. Owning such a piece not only sets it apart but also increases its value over time.
  • Originality: The COA guarantees that your artwork is an original creation, not a mass-produced copy. It’s proof that you’re buying something directly crafted by my hand.
  • Investment: As a collector, having a COA and a limited edition number gives your artwork credibility. With fewer copies available, the piece can hold or even increase in value over time.
  • Personal Connection: Each piece is hand-signed and comes with a unique serial number, making your purchase feel more personal. You’re not just acquiring art—you’re owning a part of my creative journey.

Additional Information

Series Details

The Structural Series is a tribute to the Art Deco architecture of Miami Beach, and a meditation on what it means to see beauty not as a visitor, but as someone who has made it home. Art Deco was born in 1920s Paris, the city where Charlotte’s artistic sensibility was formed, and its most intact surviving collection stands in Miami Beach, the city she now calls home. That thread between her two cities makes Miami Beach not just a subject but a mirror.

The layering fragments and reassembles the iconic hotels of Ocean Drive, not as they stand, but as they are felt and remembered. Each layer holds a piece of the whole: the geometric lines of a façade, the pastel hues, a palm tree, a passing figure, the beachgoers, the sun, the way the light falls on the ocean. Interlaced, they converge into one composition that holds both the building and the life pulsing around it, structure and movement, past and present. The hotel names ghost and repeat across the surface like signs seen through sun-dazed eyes, writing the city into memory.

The series invites the viewer to find the legacy of an era alive in a modern city, to lose themselves in the details, and to see Miami Beach not as a place to dream about, but as a living story of art, light, and time.
