From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetsuya_Ishida
Tetsuya Ishida (石田徹也 Ishida Tetsuya, born in June 1973, Shizuoka) was a Japanese painter who died in 2005 after being hit by a train. (Possibly Suicide)
Tetsuya 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.
On November 26, 2006, one of Ishida's paintings, "Untitled" 2001, sold at a Christie's Hong Kong "Asian Contemporary Art" auction for 780,000HKD (over USD$100,000). The Christie's pre-auction estimate on the sale price of the painting was only 60,000-80,000HKD.
ANYONE KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS ARTIST? LOVE THE WORK!!!!!
