Tetsuya Ishida (1973 - 2005)

I am in love with Tetsuya Ishida's work. His surrealist paintings have a quiet atmosphere, transforming the mundane into something compelling and powerful. Ishida painted scenes of ordinary Japanese life, but with the protagonist (a self-portrait) always trapped in a machine-like body, or treated as part of a production line.
