NYC Art Show | Whimsical Eastern Aesthetics

Lisson & NADA 🎨🏯✨ Stepping into this exhibition felt like Alice in Wonderland meets classical Chinese landscapes—think bronze rabbit-girl hybrids gazing at delicate ink-wash mountains. Artist Leiko Ikemura blends Western tempera techniques with Eastern poeticism, creating ethereal works that hum with quiet power. Her palette? Reminiscent of Zhang Daqian’s splashed-ink masterpieces. 🖌️🌊 Afterwards, at NADA, I spotted more gems: • Anna Yamanishi’s fabric-like wood carvings 🪵🧵 • Shu Okamoto’s adorable scroll paintings 📜🐇 📍 Leiko Ikemura @ Lisson Gallery "Talk to the sky, seeking light" | 5/1-8/1/2025 504 W 24th St, NYC 📍 NADA The Starrett-Lehigh Bldg | 601 W 26th St, 3rd Fl #NYCArt #ContemporaryArt #GalleryHopping
