Remedios Varo
18 Sep 2026 — 10 Jan 2027 at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
· Fredensborg Municipality
This exhibition celebrates the work of Remedios Varo (1908–1963), the Spanish-Mexican Surrealist painter whose richly detailed canvases transport viewers into fantastical realms where alchemy, spirituality, and the cosmos intertwine.
Varo's figures — often solitary, cloaked travelers or otherworldly beings — navigate labyrinthine cities, enchanted forests, and impossible architectures with quiet purpose. Her paintings fuse meticulous craft with poetic imagination, creating a singular visual language that sets her apart from her Surrealist contemporaries.
The exhibition invites visitors to explore the full arc of her career, from her early years in Europe to her prolific period in Mexico City, where she produced her most celebrated works.
