Description
A powerful exploration of presence and absence. This artwork captures a veiled figure emerging from a complex backdrop. The composition balances a heavy, sculptural form against a rhythmic pattern. White pigments create a ghostly luminescence. Deep shadows carve out the folds of the fabric. This interplay suggests a spiritual transition. The background evokes traditional textile motifs. Geometric lines repeat in precise sequences. A subtle color gradient shifts from deep blue to muted red. This chromatic transition adds emotional depth to the scene. The artist employs a rich layering technique. Textures appear scratched and weathered. This approach transforms the surface into a map of memory. The figure remains anonymous and timeless. It stands as a silent witness to cultural heritage. The contrast between the organic drapery and the rigid patterns creates a compelling tension. Every brushstroke emphasizes the weight of the material. The gaze is hidden. The focus remains on the physical and ethereal fusion of the subject.
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.
