We are delighted to announce that, starting from July 2024, MINT LIST will manage the global communication strategy for the artist Leiko Ikemura who has been working in Berlin and on the road, creating a unique body of artworks since the 1980s.
Featuring motifs such as animals, plants, water, sea, people, and horizons, Leiko Ikemura’s work delves into the genesis of worlds through a variety of mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, poetry and performance.
