Piece description from the artist
This portrait of Chopin mimics the original, famous Apple iPod ads, with silhouetted figure jamming against a bright neon color background. It is a humorous twist, putting Chopin in modern times wearing an iPod. The fact that Chopin was a rather dour personality, adds to the humor. This portrait is from the Juxtaposition series by Donna Lomangino. Other characters include Napoleon, Anne Boleyn and Marie Antoinette.
Donna Lomangino's paintings explore the space between mind and matter, between potentiality and actuality. Abstracted seascapes and landscapes are painted from memory or reference in an extemporaneous fashion. Color, rhythm, brushstrokes, and scent of the oils enhance a subconscious process in which she
express a mood, a passion, a sense of isolation, and spirituality. Oil is Ms. Lomangino's preferred medium, although she also uses acrylics and mixed media, depending on the subject and intent of the piece. In her life and in her painting, Donna operates on an intuitive level, sometimes painting from reference, often from internal guidance.
