Lisson Gallery at Frieze London 2024

28 August 2024

Lisson Gallery is thrilled to present a solo booth by Leiko Ikemura at Frieze London 2024, marking the beginning of her representation by the gallery. The booth will showcase a dynamic selection of glass and bronze sculptures and tempera paintings. Ikemura, an internationally active artist based in Berlin, masterfully navigates across mediums, from ethereal oil paintings to introspective drawings, watercolors, and sculptures. Her work explores themes of transition, cross-culturalism, and the feminine experience, challenging conventional narratives and societal norms. Recent works embody universal themes of suffering, resilience, and renewal. This presentation offers a glimpse into Ikemura's unique artistic vision, just ahead of her upcoming solo exhibitions in Tokyo, Emden, and Chur.
