Wall Art
Introducing Our Wall Art
For our wall art we have chosen a range of contemporary Australian artists to apply their skills and vision to their interpretation of Frida Kahlo’s work for our Unapologetic Frida collection and our Unapologetic range.
In asking Franko to use his abstract, urban pop and Abstract Realism styles for Unapologetic Frida he has produced three breathtaking pieces.
Art at the Heart
The heart pierced with an arrow variously represents the pain of love and sometimes a broken heart. The arrow is usually thought to be representative of Cupid’s arrow – Cupid being the mischievous Roman god of love and desire.
In “art at the heart” the heart is pierced with a paint brush symbolising this heart expressing the sentiment in Frida’s own words…
“my blood is a miracle that, from my veins, crosses the air from my heart to yours.” – Frida Kahlo
Unapologetic
The physical expression of Frida should not be underestimated. She celebrated her “beautiful” facial hair, a fractured spine as a result of the accident, one leg smaller than the other and a prominent monobrow.
Frida always found a way to welcome her challenges…
“Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly.”
– FRIDA KAHLO
Viva Folklorico
Frida always represented her personal identity as a Mexican woman in her life through her celebration of traditional Tehuana culture, particularly through her way of dressing. Her choice to embellish herself with bright colours, pre-Columbian jewellery, and eye-catching headdresses spoke to her commitment to preserving Indigenous culture.
She dressed as an Indigenous Mexican would dress as an everyday elevation of the cultural identity she viewed as most purely “Mexican”.
“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.” – FRIDA KAHLO
Unapologetic Minimalism
– by Cassandra Anderson
When Cassandra draws a line it has maximum impact and effect.
A few lines but a lot of WOW! Our creative designer has incorporated Cassandra’s illustrations on many specialised Unapologetic wall art installations.
