This exhibition is a journey through the materiality of the various creatures created by Leiko Ikemura from the 1990s to the present. Paintings, drawings, sculptures and films provide a concentrated view of the artist's outstanding formal language.

Throughout different media, her works are always determined by ambiguity and impalpability. The creatures Ikemura invents seem to be in a state of transformation, hybrids between plants, animals and humans.
