Carrington produced a diverse body of work spanning painting, sculpture, writing, and theater design. Born in Lancashire, England, in 1917, Carrington spent most of her life in Mexico, where her artistic practice flourished. Whilst primarily known for her visionary paintings and Surrealist imagery, Carrington’s later years saw an increased focus on bronze sculptures, which continue to captivate audiences for their otherworldly symbolism and narrative depth.
Leonora Carrington's Nine, Nine, Nine exemplifies her distinctive surrealist style, intertwining fantastical imagery with themes of alchemy and multiple realities. Reflecting her enduring fascination with the mystical and transformative aspects of human experience, the work delves into the subconscious, presenting a world where the boundaries between reality and imagination are fluid. It invites viewers to engage with the enigmatic symbolism that characterises her art, offering a glimpse into the surreal and deeply personal vision that defined her career.
