CNN —In the land of Hello Kitty, kawaii (“cute”) culture and the Neo-Pop art of 1990s Japan, Tetsuya Ishida was an outlier. An untitled 2004 acrylic and oil painting by late Japanese artist Tetsuya Ishida from the Gagosian retrospective "My Anxious Self." Ishida, who had gone to art school, worked part-time at a print shop and as a night security guard. Many of the 200 or so paintings Ishida completed in his lifetime portray the gloom of becoming a cog in the economic machine. Another painting entitled "Gripe," painted by Ishidia in 1996, portrays a Japanese salaryman with lobster claws for hands.

“It feels like you’re looking inside the guts of a dragon, or like something that you don’t actually want to see. They do not quite belong to this world, you sense, and they threaten to malfunction or become sentient at any second. Textiles dipped in liquid clay will hang on its interior walls. It may be warm in there, thanks to a steam machine, which will keep her clay humid. “I like it to be a bit unpleasant,” she said, “so that it feels like it’s actually getting onto you.”
