Description
Geometric tension meets fluid motion. This vibrant artwork captures a collision of patterns. Bold checkers warp across the canvas. They bend and stretch like fabric caught in a wind. Contrast defines the energy. Deep blacks meet stark whites. Saturated reds and electric blues break the monochromatic rhythm.
The composition feels architectural yet unstable. It mimics the distortion of a mirror. Each shape flows into the next. This creates a sense of constant transformation. The artist explores the intersection of physical presence and illusory space. There is a rhythmic quality to the repetition. It suggests a digital glitch rendered by hand.
The perspective is deliberately skewed. It pulls the viewer into a swirling vortex of color. Light and shadow play across the curved planes. This gives the surface a tactile, sculptural depth. The interplay of rigid grids and organic curves evokes a feeling of structured chaos. Precise lines anchor the composition. They guide the eye through a landscape of shifting dimensions and vivid chromatic shifts.
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.
