I usually don't like this kind of art, but the way it's laid out is very attractive. All these postings make me wish I missed the MOMA when in NYC the other month!

^ Very cool. The Japanese are really establishing themselves in modern art, huh?

 

[mariacallas]

^Glad you like it. Lots of awesome Asian contemporary art out there, some really good ones from China too (even more so than Japan, IMO) ..I'll try to dig some up.

I really like those, especially this one:

Lots of emotion seems to be behind it.

Pander the seal:
^Nope :D I read about him in an Asian art magazine months ago, and another friend sent me a link to his work just recently!

Yeah, his paintings have this despairing quality about them, right? Here's a bit of trivia about him:

Tetsuya Ishida died on May 23, 2005 at the age of 31 after being hit by a train. The official book of his works (published in 2006) lists the cause of death as "accident". Because of the dark nature of his work, however, many people consider his death to be a suicide. The issue of whether his death was suicide or accident is not agreed upon by fans of his work.
