SHOW STATEMENT: 

​

This exhibition celebrates the bold, vibrant, and deeply personal artistic vision of Frida Kahlo.

Kahlo's iconic self-portraits and paintings exploring themes of identity, pain, and the

complexities of the human experience have made her one of the most celebrated artists of the

20th century.

​

We are looking for art that draws inspiration from Kahlo’s distinctive style and subject matter. We

are accepting a diverse range of mediums and artistic approaches, from surreal self-portraits to

colorful celebrations of Mexican culture, offering fresh contemporary perspectives on visions of

the self.

​

Examples of themes of Kahlo that we are looking for in your art include but are not limited to;

self portraiture, emotional power, unapologetic authenticity, body positivity, mexican culture,

duality between natural and manmade, anatomy and health, identity and culture, etc.
