A "Lego-like" Frida Kahlo at "I love Lego" exhibition in Italy
24 January 2021
After the success in Milan, Rome and Naples in the last two years, the exhibition will open on January 26th in Pontedera (Pisa - Tuscany).
Besides engineering constructions and complex miniature architectures, the show will exhibit real works of art: like the twelve oils on canvas by Stefano Bolcato, a very popular artist on social media who has reinterpreted, with the appearance of Lego characters and a style inspired by Renaissance portraits , icons of art history such as the Mona Lisa or Frida Kahlo's self-portrait, Vermeer's “Girl with a turban” or Magritte's “Son of Man”.
"You also did Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird by Frida Kahlo. What do you like about her?
Frida Kahlo was a fragile and charismatic person at the same time, closely linked to the history and traditions of her native country Mexico. That’s what I like about her. "
