The Story
Size:28 x 28 in.
"Fri-Fri" by Lee Ellis is a mesmerizing mixed media artwork that measures 24" x 24". Set against a deep blue gradient background, the central figure of Frida Kahlo emerges with a captivating presence. Reminiscent of Kahlo's iconic self-portraits, Ellis portrays her with a red-orange aura that radiates around her, symbolizing her enduring spirit and artistic energy. Her eyes are represented as dark spaces with a white scribble atop, suggesting both introspection and the enigmatic nature of her gaze.
Frida's distinctive flower crown bursts with vibrant hues of red, pink, and yellow, contrasting beautifully against her dark hair. Her earrings, long and bright, add to the flamboyance of her appearance, echoing Kahlo's own penchant for bold accessories. She wears a floral-patterned top adorned with black linear flowers on a turquoise background, a nod to Kahlo's affinity for indigenous Mexican motifs and vibrant colors.
Lee Ellis, based in Bristol, excels in creating expressive abstract portraits that resonate with emotional depth and visual impact. Trained initially in Graphic Design, Ellis's transition to fine art has been marked by his exploration of human complexity through diverse media. His works, characterized by saturated colors and dynamic brushwork, evoke a sense of raw emotion and inner turmoil akin to the style of Francis Bacon. Through "Fri-Fri," Ellis not only pays homage to Frida Kahlo but also captures the essence of her artistic legacy, rendering her iconic presence with reverence and contemporary flair.
