After Leonora: Echoes of Surrealism

Overview

'After Leonora: Echoes of Surrealism' invites audiences to explore the impact of Leonora Carrington's work through a compelling dialogue between her visionary sculptures and the diverse practices of contemporary women artists.

By reimagining Surrealist motifs and themes for today’s world, the exhibition emphasises the boundless creativity and influence of this artistic movement. Through this cross-generational exchange, Gillian Jason Gallery offers a space to reflect on Carrington’s remarkable contributions and the evolving interpretations of Surrealism, celebrating its continued ability to inspire, challenge, and captivate.
