From the artist's statement:
I have always been drawn to the beautiful, the crafted, the decorative. Historical research on crowns from several cultures expaned my involvement with decorative, culturally inspired patterns that inform my painting.
The Almost Enlightenment monoprints series explores the opulence and maleficence of crowns: an exquisite decorative arts object adorned with often nefarious political and/or religious patterning. Crowns conjure fairy tales but also omnipotent, autocratic power. Created by anonymous artisans to canonize dynasties, crowns are testaments to conquest, cultural migration and assimilation.
This dichotomy is underscored by the flora and fauna designs on crowns: they reference either local motifs from peacefully aligned country or exotic designs from conquered empires. Lyrical terms such as fleur de lys or arabesque mask the authority embedded in crowns. Crowns also exploit a conquered country’s mineral wealth: the Koh-i-noor diamond in the UK Crown Jewels, or the plundered Andean gold and emeralds that decorate Spanish crowns.
The monoprint series expanded my sculptural project of royal decorative arts. Using additional historic research and defying the more common painterly approach to monoprints, the Almost Enlightenment series emanates with a physicality drawn from my background as a sculptor. Hand cut mylar templates of crowns and tiaras formed the printing matrixes. Each print was sent through the press multiple times to build up layers, to create subtle tones and textures reminiscent of etchings and aquatints. Templates were printed both positively and as silhouettes to create wide variety within the black, monochromatic series.
Margaret Lanzetta investigates cross currents of world decorative traditions in relation to contemporary cultural, political, and environmental narratives, creating tactile works that meld geopolitics with centuries-old motifs. The resulting work also references modern painting traditions such as the grid, and the Pattern and Decoration movement. Approximating a cultural dialogue, the works offer a sense of hope in an otherwise globalized cacophony of cultures and religions.
Margaret Lanzetta has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, in the Queens Museum Biennial, Kenise Barnes Fine Art; Jason Andrew, Norte Mar venues; Elizabeth Heskin Gallery, all in New York. Lanzetta’s work has been commissioned by Arts for Transit, New York subway. Her works are held in numerous collections including the Museum of Modern Art, NY; the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Yale University Museum; and the Harvard Museums.
