Some of our favorite art series are when pop culture collides with historical art works like The Carter Family Portrait, Emoji Nation, The Penniless Photographer and The America __tier. And now there is a new artist with a clever sense of humor that can be added to our list. Georgetown sophomore and former Nasty Gal intern Chris Rellas inserts designer accessories and logos into iconic works of art. Jacques-Louis David’s Psyché Abandonnée is clutching onto Stop It Right Now’s Céline skateboard, Frederic Leighton’s Pavonia is rocking jeweled Chanel brows, and William Bouguereau’s The Nut Gatherers are busy talking a Moschino selfie. It’s product placement at it’s best!
