Description
This vibrant textile composition pulses with rhythmic energy. Intricate stitching creates a dense tapestry of overlapping symbols and organic forms. A central figure emerges in deep blues and greens. Its presence is bold and fluid. Swirling lines dance across the surface. They evoke a sense of constant movement and spiritual flow.
The palette balances cool aquatic tones with sudden bursts of crimson and ochre. Every inch of the fabric is activated. Tiny dots and geometric patterns build a complex visual language. The artist employs a meticulous layering technique. This process adds physical depth to the flat plane.
To the left, a spectral shape floats amidst a cloud of white spirals. These ethereal curves contrast with the structured grid of the lower right corner. The interplay between chaos and order defines the atmosphere. The artwork captures a mythological narrative through abstract shorthand. It blends ancestral motifs with a contemporary sensibility. The tension between the dark background and the luminous threads creates a shimmering effect. This luminosity highlights the precision of each individual stitch.
Presentation
Leikun Nahusenay (b. 1982) is a multidisciplinary visual artist who currently resides and works in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Despite being self-taught in painting, he graduated from the Ale School of Fine Arts (2006) and Teferi Mekonnen School of Art (2011). Leikun is a member of Netsa Art village and affiliated with NasGedame Studio.
The artist creates paintings, photographs, collages, sculptures, prints, and textile works. His art practice is about memory, spirituality, and physical presence as well as transformation of material, surface, and time through rich imagery and experimental techniques. Leikun uses double exposure superimposition collage and scratch and peel collage to create ghostly fusions of the real and imagined worlds in his photographic work.
The artist has exhibited his work in various local and international galleries and museums. These include Threads of Life in Fragments of Time at the Art Basel Miami Beach, 2025–26; Fondation Blachère (France, 2019); Salon Zürcher Art Fair, New York, 2017; Asni Gallery, Addis Ababa, 2016; and Addis Fine Art, 2016. He has also been featured in the 1:54 contemporary art fair, London (2019); Dos Mares, Marseille (France, 2018); Addis Fine Art (2016); and Asni Gallery (2015). Besides his art practice, Leikun participates in photography fairs such as the Bamako Encounters Photography Biennale (Mali) and Picha Biennale (Lubumbashi, Congo, 2010).
Moreover, Leikun teaches art to children with special needs on a yearly basis.
