The Ugly Duck (TUD)’s latest collab is here, and it’s every art lover’s dream. In an effort to bring the weird and wonderful into your life, the TUD x Frida Kahlo collab is your ultimate ticket to self-expression and creativity.
Dubai-based brand, TUD forms an intersection of art and interior design, bringing us somewhat unconventional yet undeniably playful designer art objects. Namely, The Ugly Duck.
The Ugly Duck (TUD) is a collectible art toy. It’s purpose, alongside unlocking our inner child’s joy, is to celebrate individuality, new technology, and art. The TUD collection includes objects created in collaboration with celebrities and brands from all over the world, including legendary boxer Mike Tyson, the King of Pop Michael Jackson, the Pantone Color Institute, American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, Chupa Chups and Los Angeles based artist Punk Me Tender.
TUD x Frida Kahlo captures the essence of Kahlo’s “¡Viva la vida!” spirit, her relentless passion for life despite a life filled with challenges, and her unparalleled artistic legacy.
Much like Frida, TUD celebrates individuality and creative expression. This collab is all about celebrating the weirdness in us all, and that weirdness is the cornerstone to changing the world. Any art-lover would agree that genius in creativity is all about embracing your flaws, passions and uniqueness.
The TUD x Frida Kahlo collaboration encapsulates Frida’s essence in two limited edition pieces, “Flowers”, which are the primal symbol of her life, and “Viva la Vida”, paying homage to the profound themes of life and death that pierce Frida’s work.
TUD x Frida Kahlo, it seems, is a match made in art heaven.
Both pieces are now available in limited quantities on the TUD website.
