The Museo Frida Kahlo in Coyoacan, Mexico City. Hidden behind high cobalt blue walls at the corner of Londres and Allende in this charming southwestern suburb, the museo is where the surrealist artist Frida Kahlo was born, grew up and later lived with her muralist husband Diego Rivera, from 1941 until her death at age 47 in 1954.

Well folks, I am taking a break from pen and ink work and have been playing with my coloured pencils. I have two books about Frida and have seen the DVD of her life twice. I was looking at a photo of a human eye taken by Sean Farragher (Redbubble) and was inspired by the veined pattern. It evolved into this blue background eventually. Frida, sadly, is no longer with us, but for those of you who admire her work, let me mention that her modern day equivalent is definitely alive and on Redbubble in the person of Helene Ruiz. Seeing Helene’s excellent paintings provided me with the impetus to do this Frida painting. Please take a look at Helene’s work … you will not be disappointed, believe me!

In San Francisco today I visit the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and am confronted by a deep unrelenting humanity. Lee Miller takes takes me (and a thousand others) on a remarkable photographic journey from the fashion of Vogue to Hitler’s bunker and horrors of Buchenwald. We see her bathing in 1945 trying to cleanse herself from what her camera has captured. I move along and a remarkable special exhibition of Frieda Kahlo’s works lets me share in her physical pain, her passion for a philandering husband and back again to her pain. Each detail minutely captured and magnified by her art. Life darts through the lives of both women. In their art they try to make sense of it – its immutability, its transience, its bloody beauty and its brevity. The art puts a mirror to their experiences and it would be facile to say it transforms it. But it seems to give it some sense. Every moment I spend on RedBubble I see the same thing. I stare deeply into our collective humanity. This is our art. Martin (aka Pilgrim)

Here is a digital version of two drawings. I merged the images together in photoshop and made a few adjustments to make two separate oil pastel drawings one digital image. / Two calaveras, or skeletons, flirt with each other. The female bears resemblance to Frida Kahlo and the male is a mariachi. / The piece has the feel and spirit of El dia de los muertos, very exciting, emotional!

*Oil and oil stick on Canvas (Diptych) 120×180 cm / Francis Keevil Gallery / Double Bay Sydney / Dec 11 – 25th 2008. (SOLD) “The Painters” are Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo. It’s a homage of sorts to several artists I have been interested in over the years. / There is a degree of metaphor interwoven throughout this large work which had been hanging on my studio wall for quite some time in various degrees of completion whilst I procrastinated over changes and over painting areas. / Finally out of the studio though and bound for someones home eventually. Incidently, the “hand” earring that Frida Kahlo is wearing was a gift from Pablo Picasso whom she met while in Paris. The hand makes reference at what is called in Mexico “milagros”. Milagros are pieces made of wax or ivory shaped in the form of the part of the human body that the person wants to be healed, and left on the altar of the Saint they pray to. Some close ups:

Frida
by MoonSpiral9×12 pastel on Tiziano paper. Frida Kahlo once said she was no good at cooking, but if she wanted to be she probably could be because it was really all about what you are passionate about. I think that statement sums up what all of us artists feel. It is our passion that drives us to create, and what makes us better artists.

“Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.” ~ ALFRED AUSTIN This is my Secret Garden. My work of the last 2 years has culminated at this point. This piece is so very complex, but I will try to explain it to you. This is me. I am from the earth, of the earth, striving to save the earth. She is me, I am her. I live in the country on Kangaroo Island (Australia), surrounded by nature. I have wild kangaroos in my front yard every night, koalas in my trees, and my son Henley and I walk every day, and celebrate the amazing place we live. This nature has engulfed my being. On average, I have been taking about 100 images with my Canon PowerShot camera every single day for the past two years. Macro bugs, macro wildflowers, skies, dead trees, birds, flowers, shells, leaves, images from my orchard, burnt trees from the bushfires, dried up drought-affected dam bases, kangaroos, and of course, my son Henley. So many images have gone into this one piece. There are two worlds here. The abundant and thriving; and the dying, the gone forever. Our house was surrounded by devastating bushfires in Dec 2007 – a time I will never forget. Nothing but smoke could be seen out the windows. This land is vulnerable and changing for the worse every year as a result of Global Warming. It is an issue so very close to my heart because it is on my doorstep. What will this world be like for my child and all the children of now? Famine, drought, heat waves, extreme weather patterns and natural catastrophes, massive bushfires, more war, no jobs, no money, more disease, more animals extinct forever, less trees and rainforests, less farmers, less food. We are seeing it now. Something has to be done. My forehead shows a migraine I recently had during a heatwave. It felt like a penetrating light was entering my eye and illuminating half of my brain before exiting at the base of my skull where the vision centre of the brain is. It was very powerful to me. Vision. Have the vision before the world dies. Mother Earth is dying, as is half of me. What are you doing to help the earth survive? It’s up to our generation, or there will be nothing left. Your thoughts on this topic are most welcome….

(5×7 Mixed Media) In the movie Frieda,there was a scene were they celebrated that holiday(which I hope I spelled correctly) It Means Day Of The Dead,which I believe mostly celebrated in Mexico right after Halloween( which inspired this collage.) Also, So much of Kahlo’s work celebrated her determination to Live but she realized that she faced Death every day as well..

Inspired by the film ” Frida” which starred Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo, which she also co-produced and co-wrote the screenplay.

© 2009 Danilo Lejardi / A Tribute to Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter who depicted the indigenous culture of her country in a style combining Realism, Symbolism and Surrealism. / In September of 1925, Kahlo was riding in a bus when the vehicle collided with a trolley car. She suffered serious injuries in the accident. Though she recovered from her injuries and eventually regained her ability to walk, she was plagued by relapses of extreme pain for the remainder of her life. She would undergo as many as 35 operations in her life, mainly on her back and her right leg and foot. / After the accident, Frida Kahlo turned her attention away from the study of medicine to begin a full-time painting career. She painted to occupy her time during her temporary state of immobilization. Her self-portraits became a dominant part of her life “I paint myself because I am often alone and I am the subject I know best”. While Kahlo’s paintings have a distinct unrealistic quality, she insisted “I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” It is evident that her paintings reveal a personal truth about her life, her experiences. Kahlo was deeply influenced by indigenous Mexican culture, which is apparent in her paintings’ bright colors and dramatic symbolism. She frequently included the symbolic monkey: in Mexican mythology it was a symbol of lust. She combined elements of the classic religious Mexican tradition with surrealist renderings. / A few days before Kahlo died on July 13, 1954, she wrote in her diary: “I hope the exit is joyful – and I hope never to return – Frida.” Basic image is a Cinema 4D render; rest was done in Photoshop by blending layers and doing some digital painting. / (CINEMA 4D is a commercial, high-end 3-D graphics application)
