Leiko Ikemura (japonais : イケムラレイコ ), née le 22 août 1951 à Tsu, dans la préfecture de Mie, au Japon, est une artiste japonaise, qui a émigré en Europe en 1972. Le langage, ou mieux le dépassement des limites du langage joue un rôle fondamental dans le travail de Leiko Ikemura, que ce soit en peinture, sculpture, photographie ou dans les œuvres sur papier. Étroitement relié à la tradition asiatique, son processus artistique est une méditation permettant de faire émerger les images intérieures, de les laisser passer devant les yeux, de les faire disparaître, ou bien de les laisser prendre forme. Son monde imaginaire se meut dans l'espacement entre le connu et l'inconnu.Leiko Ikemura donne beaucoup d'importance au point de départ anthropomorphe de la compréhension de toute matière corporelle. Des formes humaines, animales, végétales, minérales mais aussi architectoniques convergent, se fondent et se transforment au cours du processus de création artistique. La tendance de la figure humaine s'impose dans les dernières années aussi bien dans la sculpture que dans la peinture et le dessin. Leiko Ikemura vit et travaille à Berlin et Cologne.

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.
