"Frida Kahlo Tribute"
Acrylics on acrylic board, 2009.
Artist's Comments-
I've always been a big fan of Frida Kahlo's art work (Who isn't?). So I did this piece as a tribute to her art work. I've always been afraid to use bright colours, so it was fun to employ her bright solid colours. Hearts and veins are recurring images in Frida's art so using them was obvious. This piece shows myself and my then-fiance connected via a double heart. The image of the double heart is one I've been using for several years since I discovered it as an illustration in a magazine. I actually started painting this whilst still living at one house before finishing it after moving to another house. For a long while this painting existed as a sketch in my my black sketchbook (below).
