Piece description from the artist
This portrait of Marie Antoinette is from the Juxtapositions series by Donna Lomangino — historical portraits with a humorous twist. It shows Marie Antoinette wearing a Chanel pocketbook. Marie Antoinette was an infamous clothes horse, and of course the Chanel brand did not exist in her lifetime. If it had, however, we're sure she'd be wearing this bag!
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.
