LEIKO IKEMURA AT HERBERT GERISCH-FOUNDATION, NEUMÜNSTER, GERMANY
Wenn Pfauen Flügel Öffnen, 13 MAR – 24 JUL 2022
Leiko Ikemura's solo exhibition 'Wenn Pfauen Flügel öffnen' takes us on a journey of more than 40 years of artistic practice, giving us a wide sample of the material and visual richness that encompasses the two cultural worlds in which the artist's work has evolved.

From bronze and terracotta to glass and canvas, this exhibition gives us a glimpse into the cosmogonic world inhabited by mysterious beings, most of them coming from the cultural exploration of the Japanese artist.
“In the long creative period, there is always a coherent connection and development, certain themes such as nature, man, animal beings, plants, trees are recurrent themes. At the same time, I move freely in the various media, so that always opens up new terrain and research area.”
