“Woman with Fan” - Gustav Klimt (1918
Sky Gallery in Colombo 5 is currently showing ‘Her Face, Her Power’, an exhibition that explores the feminine form not as an object, but as a vessel of resilience, identity and creative energy.
The exhibition – an extraordinary collection of life-sized, museum-quality canvas portraits – features two revolutionary artists of the 20th century.Gustav Klimt’s gilded elegance and symbolic sensuality meets Frida Kahlo’s raw introspection and cultural defiance, offering visitors a layered experience of feminine power across time and style.
Though separated by generation and geography, Gustav Klimt (Austria, 1862–1918) and Frida Kahlo (Mexico, 1907–1954) shared a fascination with the female form and psyche. Klimt, portrayed women as ethereal, symbolic, and often enveloped in a cosmos of gold leaf and pattern. Kahlo, used self-portraiture to explore themes of pain, identity, politics, and cultural heritage with visceral honesty.
The exhibition which opened on Friday, November 14 continues until Sunday, November 23 from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. each day.
