Leonora Carrington was born in 1917 in Lancashire and shaped her life and work through sustained movement across places and inner states. From Florence and Paris to the south of France, Spain, and later Mexico, her trajectory informed an artistic language shaped by surrealism, mythology, and esoteric thought.
The exhibition presents her practice through a chronological and thematic lens, tracing early encounters with Italian art, an engagement with Renaissance imagery, Celtic and post-Victorian references, and involvement with surrealist circles in France. Her work brings human and animal forms into dialogue and reflects a lifelong pursuit of transformation, self-knowledge, and symbolic meaning.
