"Miradas de Mujeres" Isabelle de Borchgrave X Frida Kahlo, Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium
14 October 2022 | 12 February 2023For almost three-years the Belgian sculptor devoted herself to this project, employing more than 4 kilometers of paper and cardboard to realize dresses, carpets, furniture, trees and other elements recreating Frida Kahlo's world and her iconic house, the Casa Azul (The Blue House).
The Casa Azul has inspired the Belgian artist's new production: resorting mainly to paper and modeling, consistent with her established practice, she chose to focus on Frida's joy of living instead of stressing the sorrowful aspects so often associated with her figure. Moving freely among Frida Kahlo's living room, studio, kitchen, garden, and wardrobe, visitors will have an unprecedented experience, which in Isabelle de Borchgrave's intentions aims to distance herself from the image of suffering and pain associated with the Mexican icon's disability.
The exhibition Miradas de Mujeres honors a conversation between two women who have never met - one of the women was born not long before the other passed away - but who shared the same love of fabric, patterns, and colors. It also offers a female perspective on the place of the artist in society.
