THE MODERN LISA
Acrylic on canvas, 48" x 60" — 2019
by Justin Wadlington
Discover The Modern Lisa, a reimagining of art history's most iconic face. A figure in a leopard-print hat and matching sequined wrap stands before a faded, grayscale Mona Lisa, her dark hair and glittering silhouette rendered in full color and texture. The title nods to a Jay-Z lyric describing Beyoncé as a modern-day Mona Lisa with even better features — an idea Wadlington brings to life here, letting the classic portrait fade quietly into the background beside her.
The Modern Lisa is a conversation piece for any space, blending classic art history with a modern point of view.
Giclée print, gallery-wrapped canvas, framed over 1.5" wood. Original, long-lasting materials. Made in USA.
