Collection

Tetsuya Ishida's painting Collection exemplifies his mastery of Surrealism by blending hyperrealistic depictions of Japanese city life with symbolic, dreamlike imagery. In this Symbolic painting, figures often appear as boys and men whose bodies integrate seamlessly into everyday appliances, industrial machinery, or architectural elements, highlighting themes of urban alienation and consumerism. Ishida’s work powerfully explores the anxieties of academic and professional environments, capturing the isolation and banalities of modern urban existence with a poignant, surrealist lens.
