Bat-men (How true my love)
A dreamlike scene rendered in Leonora Carrington's signature Surrealist style, where enigmatic bat-winged figures inhabit a mysterious, otherworldly space that blurs the boundary between human and creature. The richly detailed tempera on panel showcases Carrington's masterful command of symbolism and fantasy, drawing on folklore, alchemy, and the occult to conjure a haunting vision of love and transformation. The work reflects her lifelong fascination with the liminal zones between the rational and the magical, inviting the viewer into a realm where desire and the uncanny are deeply intertwined.
