Limited edition, signed and numbered giclee print of Angie Jones's 2013 painting "Senora Kahlo." This portrait addresses a discourse and a blurred line between icon and portrait in the post-digital age. The image is re-visioned using faceted surfaces (similar to low polygon video game art).
"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?" — Frida Kahlo
Enter the world of Angie Jones' Geometric Frida Kahlo portrait, a stunning rendition inspired by a 1939 photo captured by Hungarian photographer Nickolas Muray for Mexican Vogue. For artists, especially female ones like myself, Frida remains an enduring icon, celebrated for her distinctiveness in every aspect of her life.
As Katherine Brooks of the Huffington Post noted, "From her canvases to her love affairs to her penchant for exotic pets and wild brows, Kahlo's life was filled with distinction."
But this painting goes beyond mere representation. Through Augmented Reality, a simple QR code scan transports you into a mesmerizing experience. As you point your device towards the painting, a portal unfolds, revealing Frida Kahlo's vibrant home in Mexico. And then, from within the portal emerges a bust of Frida herself! The model used for this piece appears adorned with a striking sunburst halo of golden spikes, adding a regal aura to her presence.
