Digital Fragments 351

Art Treasures

Digital Fragments 351 reinterprets Vigée Le Brun’s La Marquise de Pezay et la Marquise de Rougé through a layered abstract approach. The piece dissolves the original composition into gestural forms and a vibrant palette, reflecting the painting’s sense of elegance and presence.

The inspiration for this artwork came during a visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), where the painting was part of the exhibition Making Her Mark: A History of Women Artists in Europe, 1400–1800.

La Marquise de Pezay et la Marquise de Rougé with her sons by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art (NGA) in Washington, D.C. The painting is renowned for its masterful depiction of fabric and texture, which inspired the visual language of Digital Fragments 351.

Fabric, Rhythm, and Abstraction

In Digital Fragments 351, this textile richness becomes a central motif. The folds of fabric are abstracted into fluid ribbons and flowing masses. The original sense of weight and movement is translated into new visual gestures. By amplifying the interplay of texture and colour, the piece pays tribute to the materiality that defines Vigée Le Brun’s portrait.

The two central figures remain partially perceptible, yet they merge with the surrounding energy of the composition. As with other works in the Art Treasures series, the goal is not to reproduce, but to reimagine — allowing the familiar to shift into abstraction and renewed presence.
