Leiko Ikemura - Landscape with Mount Fuji-2
Technique: Original monotype on Japanese paper - Edition 1
Artist Biography: Leiko Ikemura (Japan, 1951). After finishing school, she moved to Osaka to study at Osaka University from 1970 to 1972. She decided to finish her studies abroad and went to study at the University of Fine Arts in Granada, Seville from 1973 to 1978. She then moved to Zürich and in 1980 began her work for which she is recognized today. Leiko Ikemura had her first solo exhibition at the Bonn Kunstverein in Born in Germany, deciding to live in the artist residence in Nuremberg shortly after. From 1980 she went on to exhibit her work worldwide in Basel, Melbourne and Tokyo. In the 1990s, Leiko Ikemura focused her work on women and began her teaching career at the Berlin School of Fine Arts in 1991. A contemporary Japanese artist, Leiko Ikemura presents a body of work known for its nebulous depictions of dreamlike landscapes and disintegrated faces. The artist tries to convey uncertainty with her strokes throughout her changing work. Her work is also characterized by the meeting of two cultures: on the one hand referring to the history of Western art but dealing with themes and formal vocabulary immerses the viewer in the Japanese tradition, venerating asymmetry, incompleteness and ambiguity.
