Ahead of Leonora Carringtonβs upcoming solo exhibition at Almine Rech Paris this September 2026, the gallery is pleased to share a preview of the show alongside a selection of recent institutional exhibitions and news. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Consejo Leonora Carrington and rossogranada.
Leonora Carrington OBE (1917β2011) was a surrealist painter, sculptor and a novelist of British descent, who lived the majority of her life in Mexico. Credited with being a pioneer feminist artist of the Surrealist movement, Carringtonβs work is centered around the supernatural, the occult, nature, and oftentimes autobiographical references.
Carrington moved to the Americas in 1941 to avoid the war in Europe and eventually settled in Mexico City where she lived for the rest of her life. She found inspiration in art, nature, and literature, from Hieronymus Bosch to Beatrix Potter and the writings of the ancient Mayan people.
Swipe through the carousel to discover a selection of the artistβs past, current, and upcoming exhibitions. Visit our website to learn more about each of them!
