Descripción de la Exposición

In the first New York solo exhibition in 22 years for the late artist, Gallery Wendi Norris presents "Leonora Carrington: The Story of the Last Egg." Gathering four decades of painting and sculpture, a new curatorial direction will present her visionary perspective from a contemporary vantage point, advancing the examination of Carrington's ecofeminist worldview. More than 20 paintings and six sculptures by the British-born Mexican-exile will coalesce to explore Carrington's personal philosophy as it's depicted through a vast visual vocabulary forged from her encyclopedic knowledge of ancient myth and religion. Through the creative and often comical overlapping of esoteric references, Carrington demonstrates a primordial wisdom fundamentally the same across all cultures. Recognizing a universal interconnectedness we do not yet understand, Carrington's imagery evokes the salvatory power of feminism, ecology, and mysticism in the face of mankind's destructive dominance over nature.
