The Japanese-Swiss artist Leiko Ikemura (*1951) is one of the most important contemporary artists. In her paintings and sculptures, she explores the transitions between man and nature. Leiko Ikemura grew up on the coast of Japan and moved to Europe in 1972. After stays in Spain, she moved to Switzerland in 1979 and later lived in Cologne and Berlin. In 1989, she retired to work in the Grisons mountains for a year and underwent a radical reorientation during this time. Inspired by her direct experiences of nature, she allows man and his existential questions to merge into an seemingly infinite cosmos in her painting. With the exhibition at the Bündner Kunstmuseum, Ikemura returns to the region where her painterly work once changed. In the exhibition, she once again combines opposites such as loss and renewal, change and rootedness into a whole. In the combination of painting, sculpture and film projection, she creates a space in which the sea lies above the mountains and time dissolves.
