The Japanese-Swiss artist Leiko Ikemura (*1951) is one of the most important artists of our time. 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 living in Spain, she moved to Switzerland in 1979 and later lived in Cologne and Berlin. In 1989, she retreats to the Grisons mountains to work for a year, during which time she radically realigns herself. Inspired by her direct experiences of nature, her painting allows people and their existential questions to merge into an infinite cosmos. With the exhibition at the Art Museum Graubünden, Ikemura is returning to the region where her painterly work once took shape. In the exhibition, she brings together opposites such as loss and renewal, change and rootedness to form a whole. By combining painting, sculpture and film projection, she creates a space in which the sea lies over the mountains and time dissolves.
