“Face over Horizon,” created by Leiko Ikemura in 2008, is an abstract piece that falls under the Abstract Expressionism art movement. This artwork is characterized by its abstract genre, evoking a sense of introspection through its utilization of color and form.
The artwork presents an abstract interpretation of a landscape, dominated by dark, somber hues in the upper section, with a prominent, diffused red form suggestive of a celestial body or rising sun, imbuing the scene with an ethereal quality. The composition is grounded by a stark horizontal divide, with the lower part featuring lighter tones that gradually transition from pale beige to a subdued yellow-green. This juxtaposition of colors and forms creates a contemplative atmosphere, inviting viewers to reflect on the interplay between the abstract elements and their own perceptions.
