With her distinct brow, colorful flower crowns, and captivating gaze, Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) is among the most instantly recognizable figures in art history. But her widely circulated image perhaps makes it easy to take for granted the profound life events that shaped her work and cemented her icon status in the first place.For one, Kahlo endured significant physical pain throughout her life: she contracted polio at age six, then at age 18, suffered a severe bus accident that resulted in lifelong complications and dozens of surgeries, including the eventual amputation of her lower right leg. But even while confined to bed in a plaster body cast for months, she began painting in earnest and painted what she knew best—herself and her experience of physical pain.A member of the Mexican Communist Party who came of age in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution, Kahlo also addressed colonialism in her work. By celebrating Mexico’s natural landscapes and indigenous art styles, Kahlo typified a model of proud, modern Mexican identity (hence the flower crowns and Tehuana dresses she famously wore). While her comrades in the government-backed Mexican mural movement, including her husband, Diego Rivera, dealt overtly with images of collective revolution, Kahlo continually returned to the body. Even through intimate scale and subjects, she translated pain, heartache, her experiences of womanhood and sexuality, and her hopes for Marxism with unabashed and accessible sincerity.Though often classed as Surrealist or magical realist for her fantastical use of symbolism, Kahlo insisted that she merely painted life as she knew it, and she did so up until her death at age 47. Today, audiences and artists alike continue to respond to her candor with awe. Below, meet five Saatchi Art artists taking cues from Kahlo in their own practices.Alexa Torre RodriguezPhotographer Alexa Torre Rodriguez creates bright and airy figurative photographs that explore female identity in the context of Mexican traditions and symbols in the vein of Kahlo. By isolating her figures against colorful backdrops in stylized, staged compositions, Alexa explores how context shapes our perception of the subject, particularly in response to stereotypes. Alexa is based in Mérida, Yucatán, and she has exhibited her work across North America and Europe.

Like Kahlo, Yanin candidly processes her own pain and emotions on the canvas, whether they be the result of relationships, the COVID pandemic, or her own experience with chronic illness. In Yanin’s paintings, these personal narratives take on the language of Surrealism while exploring the landscape of her native Mexico, with figures traversing dreamlike desert scenes marked by lightning, cacti, and floating all-seeing eyes. See more of Yanin’s work here.Adam Collier NoelMixed-media artist Adam Collier Noel builds on Kahlo’s symbolic melding of the personal and universal to examine his own life. Just as Kahlo explored gender and sexuality in her life and work, Adam examines social constructs surrounding masculinity and male identity today. Adam lives and works in South Florida, and his work is held in private collections in the US and around the globe. See more of Adam’s work here.Karenina FabrizziFascinated by flora and fauna, Karenina Fabrizzi combines regal silhouettes with botanical and animal forms in her delicate mixed-media portraits. By fusing her human subjects with their natural surroundings, Karenina explores the fantastical qualities of nature and brings the unconscious mind to the fore, recalling Kahlo’s reverence for nature in her native Mexico. Based in Barcelona, Karenina has exhibited widely throughout Europe and the US. See more of Karenina’s work here.Francesca Dalla BenettaWith a background in film set design and special effects makeup, Francesca Dalla Benetta is well versed in making dreams a reality. Working primarily in bronze, Francesca creates startlingly lifelike figures that bloom with dreamlike protrusions and appendages. Delicately rendered, Francesca’s sculptures appear to breathe and slump as they contemplate the weight of whatever vines, houses, or animal headdresses sit atop them—like Kahlo, Francesca blends the surreal and the real with ease.

Whether you have an open foyer with room for an oversized sculpture or a hallway fit for a statement-making painting, elevate your entryway with art that reflects your personality and makes a welcoming first impression.A statement abstract is both inviting and bold enough to stand out in a transitional space.As transitional spaces, foyers make an ideal display area for large-scale, high-impact art that catches the eye of the viewer as they pass by. In particular, our curators have had their eyes on large-scale art that entrances—including ephemeral abstract paintings by Terri Dilling, mesmerizing geometric works by Melisa Taylor, and pastoral landscape photography by Viet Ha Tran. These works draw the viewer in, an apt quality for art meant to welcome guests into your home. If you’re working with an open space, vertically-oriented sculptures, such as the collector-favorite ceramic totems by Cristina Figarola, can draw the eye in and up, enhancing the sense of airiness.For three-dimensional artworks, be sure to place them in a safe area that does not obstruct the flow of the entryway. As foyers tend to be light-filled, make sure your flat artworks, like drawings or photographs, are framed behind UV-safe glass, and that your paintings are finished by the artist with a protective varnish.Explore more entryway-ready artworks featured in our catalog here.

Theresa recently showed her work at the June New York fair at the Knockdown Center. Her work explores relationships with nostalgia, specifically how it is a fiction that we create. Theresa adapts images of women from the past to re-write the narrative. We asked Theresa some questions about where she draws inspiration for her work: .The Hoxton’s theme for this installation is the outdoors. What reference points from the natural world influence you most? Is there somewhere you go specifically for influence outdoors?I love summer! After living a big chunk of my life in San Francisco, I never really experienced a full-on hot summer until I moved to New York. I want to spend my summer days at a beach, a pool or a lake. I feel fortunate that I’ve been able to do a lot of that. Every summer I go to Maine with my family where we swim in ponds, jump off of docks, and go canoeing. It’s a lot of fun, I have many great memories of beautiful summer days. Do you draw inspiration for the women in your work from people in your life or elsewhere? I think about all the women in generations before me who lived their lives with a completely different set of rules than we have now. Look pretty, dress nicely, be pleasant, get married and depend on your husband to provide your house, your car, your money. Careers were limited and women often got fired for getting married. I start with that as a foundation and build images of women who are empowered in some way to be themselves and live the lives they want. I like to draw that line between the conventions of the past and how far we’ve come. Women are constantly having to fight to maintain their rights to exist as equals in the world, just as we have for decades. There is such a variety of fabrics and styles in your designs, how do you feel fashion plays a role in your work and in your life? And do you feel your work responding to some of the issues around fast fashion and sustainability?Fashion trends come in cycles so what was cute in one decade will come back around eventually. I always have one eye on the past looking for patterns and styles that are decidedly out of style but may be on the verge of making a comeback. There are some items that take me right back into a specific moment in time, like Roller Girl. Those striped short-shorts and knee socks, that was a look that was everywhere in the California 80s, when I was a kid. It’s not an intentional comment on fast fashion, but before the existence of fast fashion, there were fewer choices so you had a lot of people wearing the same trends, which is how a pair of shorts becomes a defining look.When I was in high school there was a fabulous thrift shop that I would go to. This was before thrifting was cool (that makes me sound really old, I know) At the time no one would touch a thrift store but me and my weirdo punk rock friends. Wealthy older women would donate their gorgeous Ladies Who Lunch-style outfits from the 60s to this place. I would pick up beaded cardigans and silk shift dresses which I would wear with high top Converse sneakers or Doc Martens. I love digging through piles of old stuff that no one else wants. After showcasing your work at The Other Art Fair LA and New York this past year, can you recount a memorable interaction you had during this experience?Those four days of an art fair can be such a blur! I have had so many interesting conversations about subjects ranging from Patty Hearst to gender roles to living in Beacon NY. People who come into my booth are often drawn to one particular element in my work. I met a woman who told me that she and her partner were avid bird watchers. I have a series of works on paper that combine birds in fabulous 1970s fashions and we talked for a while about the traits animals and humans share, in the best of ways. Can you tell us about any upcoming projects or exciting endeavors you are working on?I’m really excited about how I’ve been able to use my art to help raise money for causes I care about. Ever since we learned that Roe v Wade was about to be overturned, I’ve been selling these small works called Gunderpants from my website. For every work sold, I make a donation to www.wrrap.org, an organization that financially assists women to have access to contraceptives and abortions. Since last Friday, June 24 when the Supreme Court came out with their ruling, there’s been an uptick. I don’t make any money off the sale, all the proceeds get donated. It really is wonderful to be able to contribute to an organization that does this work.Make your way on over to the Hoxton, Williamsburg to see Theresa’s work on display from July 1st.
