Akira Ikezoe

Akira Ikezoe is a New York-based artist. Drawing from a combination of the ancient animism and futuristic technologies of his home country, Ikezoe creates works in diverse disciplines, including drawing, painting, video, and performance. In Ikezoe’s works, the human figure is presented as his alter ego and woven into a metaphysical and mythological context that depicts a timeless melting point between human and natural boundaries.

Proyectos Ultravioleta was founded in Guatemala City in 2009 as an independent artist-run space, and has since established itself as a leading voice in contemporary art in Latin America and beyond.
