The Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia present the exhibition “Leiko Ikemura. TransLucent - The Shape of Light”, featuring glass sculptures by Leiko Ikemura. The works of the renowned contemporary artist will be displayed in the historic halls of the museum, in a dialogue with old Venetian masters such as Paolo Veneziano and Carpaccio, Tiepolo and Titian. Drawing on her long experience with paintings and sculptural works, Leiko Ikemura has explored the artistic potential of glass works, further affirming her interdisciplinary approach. The transparency and evanescence of this material hold a particular fascination for the artist. At the Gallerie, she will highlight the almost transcendent quality of glass as “a form made of light”, in a carefully calibrated dialogue with the collection.
