I really like what Leslie Oschmann does to vintage oil paintings ... she transfers them into beautiful bags,
clutches, necklaces, pillows and chairs. She finds the paintings at markets throughout The Netherlands and
Belgium. Each piece of functional art tells its own story through the clever combination
of painted, worn canvases.
Over time and with use, each unique object is designed to show signs of wear so that the narrative of the art can continue to be enjoyed and evolve with age. She also keeps a great blog which she updates regularly with her most recent work – the latest being a new set of fabulous bags that double as shoulder bags as well as tote.
