Leiko IkemuraDescription
This monograph offers a comprehensive look at the work of Leiko Ikemura, a Japanese-Swiss artist known for her poetic and introspective approach to painting, sculpture, and drawing. Spanning several decades, the book traces Ikemura’s unique visual language—one that blends Eastern and Western influences, the spiritual and the earthly, the human and the natural.
Her works often feature dreamlike figures, mythological creatures, and shifting landscapes that evoke transformation, memory, and vulnerability. Through delicate lines, layered textures, and a muted yet luminous palette, Ikemura explores themes of femininity, identity, loss, and the unseen forces that shape inner worlds.
With critical essays, artist interviews, and richly reproduced images, this volume offers readers a deep and contemplative journey into Ikemura’s evolving practice—one that resists fixed narratives and instead invites a space for quiet reflection and emotional resonance.Dimensions
