Notă biografică
Leiko Ikemura is an internationally renowned contemporary artist. Since the 1980s, she has explored themes of transition, transcultural aspects, and collective awareness beyond nations and genders. The artist seamlessly shifts between luminous, otherworldly and often monumental paintings, introspective drawings and watercolours, glazed terracotta sculptures, glass and ceramics. Since her studies in Spain, European painting has played a defining role in shaping Ikemura's artistic practice. Italian Old Masters, in particular, like Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, Pontormo and Tiepolo remain a constant point of reference for her profound engagement with color and materiality. This is characteristic of her sensual aesthetic, which permeates both her paintings and sculptures.
With the artists of the Italian Renaissance and Mannerism she also shares an attentiveness to the relationship between human consciousness and nature. Earth, plants, and animals undergo an aesthetic transformation in Ikemura's work, becoming integral to her poetic inner landscapes.These 'mindscapes', or 'cosmicscapes' are equally shaped by Eastern influences, lending Ikemura's spiritual works a raw and tender presence that highlights the intimate bonds between humankind and the universe. Leiko Ikemura was born in Tsu, Mie Prefecture, Japan, and is based in Berlin.
