Floating Face 2009

"Floating Face," a 2009 work by Japanese artist Leiko Ikemura, depicts a dreamlike visage rendered in soft, blurred strokes. The face, dominated by a vibrant red, floats against a deep, purplish background, suggesting a sense of weightlessness and ethereal presence. Ikemura's signature style, characterized by bold colors and gestural application of paint, contributes to the dreamlike quality of the piece, creating a sense of both intimacy and mystery.
