In recent decades, Frida Kahlo has become a very influential figure in the art world, both for her pictorial work as for her life. Kahlo is an inspiration to many artists whose works are based on different subjects such as disease and body, life and death, intimacy and autobiography, as well as her magical use of colours and forms far away of the realism.

Lust for Life is an exhibition showing the work of over 42 artists from diverse countries around the world --México, Colombia, Brazil, United States, Sweden, Holland, Denmark, France, Iran, Kazakhstan and Japan, to name only some of them. All these artists have made pieces attracted by Frida Kahlo’s work, style and person.

The exhibition is presented at the Menier Gallery, a space dedicated to contemporary art and design that has a great recognition between London galleries. In addition to the exhibition of artworks, the gallery will give place to a closing event in which Kahlo will be celebrated with colorful clothes and traditional Mexican music.
