Salma Hayek is an Oscar Nominated actor, producer and author of a 2017 New York Times essay entitled, “Harvey Weinstein Is My Monster, Too,” in which she accused the producer of assault and detailed a series of blackmail, bullying, and indignities –and how she was undermined when reporting them.
Headdresses and crowns deify Kate Kelton’s subjects. She uplifts the Unsung Sheroes & Heroes, Patriarchy Smashers, Warrior Survivors, Silence Breakers, Philosophers, Truth-Tellers, Whistle Blowers and Thought Giants. She paints portraits cloaked in the garb of statues Ladislav Šaloun sculpted onto the train station that her great-grandfather, Josef Fanta, designed for Prague in 1901 – 1909.
Apotheosis through a reclaimed, reapplied Art Nouveau.
