This catalog was published on the occasion of Riding the Waves, a solo show by Japanese-Swiss artist Leiko Ikemura. Presenting a combination of new works alongside signature pieces, this exhibition showcases bronze, ceramic and glass sculptures as well as paintings. The title of the exhibition, Riding the Waves, refers to the artists’ interest in transformation. Waves are a symbol for movement and transfiguration as they represent the movement of energy within the sea. According to Ikemura, “All living beings are part of cosmology and this energy can be felt like waves.” The presentation of the works emphasizes this statement, with a big base shaped like the sea’s winding waves, on which different creatures of Ikemura can be found. The exhibition design has been conceived by architect Philipp von Matt and offers an important contribution to the playful presentation of Ikemura’s sculptures. All the paintings and sculptures are connected and have a special focus that addresses aspects of the natural world: female figures, landscape, and the animal creatures that inhabit it. Among other mythical creatures, the ‘Usagi’ (Japanese for rabbit) is one of Ikemura’s most famous and frequently used motifs. Throughout different cultures the animal symbolizes fertility and renewal. Ikemura’s large scale bronze sculpture ’Usagi Greeting’ (or ‘Rabbit Bodhisattva of Mercy’) invites visitors to seek shelter within its wide robe. The work offers various possibilities for association and an ambiguity for those seeking meaning as a hybrid being of mercy and hope.
