In 2015 I went to an exhibit featuring her at the Textile Museum in Toronto. It also includes a link to an exhibit also in Toronto at the ROM.

Click here for an exhibit of Frida's work we attended in San Diego in 2014.

I found a mural in Toronto with Frida on it.

Another Toronto mural.

I am posting a recap of the various items we spotted on our 2016 Mexican trip.

Artist Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907, in Coyocoán, Mexico City, Mexico. Considered one of Mexico's greatest artists, Frida Kahlo began painting after she was severely injured in a bus accident. Kahlo later became politically active and married fellow communist artist Diego Rivera in 1929. She exhibited her paintings in Paris and Mexico before her death in 1954.
You will find renderings of Frida and her works on everything, everywhere in Mexico.
She is often depicted with her trademark "unibrow" and faint mustache.

June 2025 - Reykjavik Iceland

Inspired by a song from Icelandic band Of Monsters and Men, street artists Wes21 and Onur created a large mural titled Heavy Stones Fear No Weather. The previous works of two Swiss creatives include murals for different festivals in Berlin and Miami. Heavy Stones Fear no Weather seems to follow both creatives’ interests. It is a depiction of a fictional world where a stone fist rises as a sign of persistence and endurance. 

Title: Ukraine thanks Iceland

There are no polar bears in Iceland.

Artist: Arnar Ásgeirsson

Address: Týsgata 8, Óðinstorg

At first glance, Arnar Ásgeirsson’s work comes off as eerie and dark. From a distance, the stark contrasts catch your eye, and as you step closer, so much more is revealed. Incredibly minute details, layers of comedy and humour, all wonderfully nonsensical. Arnar embraces chaos and portrays it in a way that draws the viewer in, and makes us feel as comfortable as he is with it. The limited use of colour helps guide our focus to the subjects portrayed. The piece is located on a wall facing a lovely little town square, with plenty of seating areas for you to settle in and enjoy this work of art, which has more than enough to keep you entertained for hours.

Artist: Arnór Kári

Address: Laugavegur 5 (down the alley)
