Omschrijving
With her diverse oeuvre, Leiko Ikemura has created a rich cultural universe that mediates between Western and Asian culture; it includes not only paintings, watercolors and drawings, but also sculptures made of ceramic, bronze and glass.The artist gained international renown primarily through her sculptural works. Ikemura's seemingly archaic hybrid creatures oscillate between human, animal and plant forms. Her figures suggest childlike or feminine shapes and have a very distinctive physiognomy, evoking moments of inner reflection and movement. At times, they give an impression of vulnerability and pain, then again of happiness and reverie.The publication documents Ikemura's first solo exhibition in the UK. Numerous new texts situate the artist in a broad, transnational perspective and elaborate on her special, mystical cosmos of images.
