The artwork titled “Eine Art nebeneinander,” created by artist Leiko Ikemura in 1996, is a representation of the Neo-Expressionism movement and falls under the genre of sculpture.
This evocative sculpture depicts two abstracted human figures, standing close together with their heads gently touching in an intimate gesture of connection. The figures seem to be emerging from, or perhaps rooted into, a shared circular base. The sculptor employs a texture that is both raw and unrefined, emphasizing the emotive quality and the interaction between the forms. The overall impression is one of unity and harmony, captured through simplified shapes and a tactile surface that invites viewers to reflect on the nature of human relationships and kinship.
