Description
This immersive landscape transforms a nocturnal scene into a vibrating field of light. Tiny, precise dots of color merge to build a deep sense of atmospheric depth. The dark expanse of the sky mirrors the shimmering surface of the water below. Between these two mirrors, soft mountain silhouettes rise in a muted purple hue.
The technique recalls a modern pointillism. It suggests a world caught between waking and dreaming. Luminous clusters of yellow and green emerge on the left, grounding the viewer in a tactile, botanical presence. Every speck of pigment contributes to a larger rhythmic energy.
The Addis Ababa based artist explores the intersection of spirituality and memory. This artwork captures a ghostly fusion of the real and the imagined. The composition feels both expansive and intimate. It invites a meditative gaze into a silent, starlit wilderness. A subtle contrast exists between the dense foliage in the foreground and the ethereal glow of the distant horizon. Each point of light acts as a pulse of energy across the dark canvas.
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.
