Renowned Japanese-Swiss artist Leiko Ikemura’s multifaceted
oeuvre comprises paintings, watercolours, drawings, as well as
terra-cotta and bronze sculptures. She has created a diverse
cultural universe that acts as an intermediary between Western and
Asian culture. Ikemura is known, above all, for her sculptural
works. Her hybrid creatures, seemingly archaic, oscillate between
human, animal and plant like shapes. Sometimes childlike or
feminine in appearance, the figures and their peculiar physiognomy
evoke moments of calm reflection and deep emotion; at times they
gesture towards vulnerability and pain, at others they symbolise
bliss and dreaminess. This title introduces Ikemura’s most recent
installation: six sculptures displayed in the open air at
Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences, an ensemble of buildings
and parkland designed by Santiago Calatrava. Large-format
photographs bear witness to the unreal, almost dreamlike dialogue
between the sculptures and Calavatra’s iconic architecture, while
the inclusion of works unrelated to this project offers a
comprehensive introduction to Ikemura’s unique visual universe.
Text in English, German and Spanish.
