Cosmic Mom

August 30 - October 12, 2024

Zahnradstrasse 21, Zurich

Galerie Peter Kilchmann is delighted to announce our upcoming third solo exhibition featuring new works by the internationally renown artist Leiko Ikemura (born in Tsu, Mie Prefecture, Japan; lives and works in Berlin) at our Zurich location on Zahnradstrasse. The exhibition encompasses a variety of media such as painting, sculpture, drawing, and film, showcasing a remarkable new direction within Leiko's decades-long developed series 'Girls.' In 1980, Leiko made her artistic debut in Zurich and has since gained wide international recognition. She has established a unique artistic position engaging with nature, humans, animals, and plants. The existential and holistic are the focus of her work, and she remains open to these timeless themes as well as sociopolitical aspects. The exhibition, titled Cosmic Mom, presents Leiko's most current body of work. The works have been installed in situ, evoking an interaction between architecture and artwork.
