- Biography/History:
- Over the course of just ten years, Ishida produced a striking body of work centered on the theme of human alienation. He emerged as an artist during Japan's "Lost Decade," a recession that lasted through the 1990s, and his paintings capture the feelings of hopelessness, claustrophobia, and disconnection that characterized Japanese society during this time--even in the wake of its rapid technological advancement. Before his untimely death in 2005, Ishida conjured allegories of the challenges of contemporary life in paintings and works on paper charged with Kafkaesque absurdity. -- Gagosian website, viewed September 18, 2023
- Summary:
- The catalogue reproduces more than ninety works in color and features a foreword by Larry Gagosian, an introduction by Michiaki Ishida, illustrated essays by Alemani and Diethard Leopold, and "The Red Cocoon," a short story about a surreal metamorphosis by award-winning Japanese writer Kobo Abe (translator, Lane Dunlop).
- Notes:
- "Gagosian is pleased to announce My Anxious Self, an extensive exhibition of paintings by the late Tetsuya Ishida (1973-2005) at Gagosian, 555 West 24th Street, New York, opening on September 12. Curated by Cecilia Alemani, the survey follows the announcement of Gagosian's global representation of the Tetsuya Ishida Estate, which, along with notable private collections and the Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art, Japan, lent more than eighty works to the exhibition. My Anxious Self is the most comprehensive exhibition of the artist's work to have been staged outside of Japan, and his first ever in New York. -- Gagosian website, viewed September 18, 2023
