Wow. Very strange, but you can't take tour eyes off them
[]
Impressive.
[]
wow, i just became a fan.
[]
Very powerful, amazingly executed. Stops you in your tracks, makes you think! Thank you for sharing!
[]
I'm pleasantly disturbed (is that possible?) be these images. I really like them. Thanks for posting about them.
[]
Outstanding and inspiring- sadly, there is to be no new work from tis modern master.
[]
That some crazy stuff! Crazy good that is. Very disturbing but in a totally engrossing way. Great post.
[]
Incredibly beautiful and immersive; with some the vividness creates an odd sense of deja vu.
[]
I highly recommend the book from him: 「石田徹也遺作集」ISBN4-7630-0629-0
You can find it amazon: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%9F%B3%E7%94%B0%E5%BE%B9%E4%B9%9F%E9%81%BA%E4%BD%9C%E9%9B%86-%E7%9F%B3%E7%94%B0-%E5%BE%B9%E4%B9%9F/dp/4763006290/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275972675&sr=8-1
Really sad he died so young ... outstanding art. Says more about Japan than all those documentaries and books and what not else were written.
[]
love the dissociation
[]
I found a few of his other work as well upon someone elses blog.

I don't what it is, but his style is so moving, yet so sad...
[]
These are great! Kind of similar to some of Dali's work in that everything is rendered accurately and realistically, no matter how bizarre. What I like is that everything seems so familiar... bento boxes and mass-produced bathrooms, the schools and the ticket gates. Just fantastic.
[]
Realy nice !
[]
Oh wow those are creepy.
[]
I'm the fortunate owner of two copies of the Codex Seraphineanus. I'd gladly trade in one of them for Ishida's work in print. Is there a book out yet?
[]
Check out the publisher's website http://www.kyuryudo.co.jp (in Japanese),both books available at Amazon JP.
[]
I think I'm in lurv
[]
Eeesh, these really bring out the darker side of Japanese life, or more specifically, the darker side of consumerist/corporate life in Japan's big cities. There really are some poignant points here and I can't take my eyes off the pictures. Great find!
[]
So sad to have died so young.
[]
Amazing paintings! They remind me of a salvia trip I once had. I feel like the artist as experienced somethign similar.
[]
i had this exact thought
[]
Very 'protest' art. Statement posters against communism/junk food etc etc. Powerful yet disturbing and sad. Very hard-hitting and emotive. Well done............ I think.
[]
Reminds me of Garbage Pail Kids.
[]
???????????
[]
why is the guy always so sad =/ these make me wanna cry
[]
the details are f*cking amazing
[]
This doesn't even make sense. Art shouldn't be like pin the tail on the donkey, this is just random. Real art is the mona lisa or van gogh
[]
Not random at all - you are just unable to see the symbolism. ...Both the Mona Lisa & Van Gogh were mostly portraits, not true art that makes a statement. The most artistic thing about Van Gogh was his brush-strokes. Check out Francis Bacon or Goya if you need a crash course.
[]
Excellent! I love his works, great post!
[]
v. provoking , forcing us to face Life , darkness, fine, but , where is the positive side? the Light that guides us thru the Day. Comedy to balance the Tragedy , thanks
[]
Very much touching... just a truth of our life. The pleasure of pain is when pictured so much in details. The form of pure beauty, the contents rotten flesh of existence. Reminds me of Bosh, Giger, and Beksinski (http://beksinski.republika.pl/10.htm).
[]
creative gloomy
[]
Absolutely love them, can't get enough - strong social commentary, great messages, well-thought, appropriately developed concepts. Keep it up!!!
[]
some remind me of a book called Perdido Street Station
[]
These are wonderful. I've seen a couple of them before and I saved them, it's nice to find some others because I freaking love this artist
[]
Quite the imagination, great use for futuristic bathroom fixtures, Or maybe that is how it comes back together when it all comes apart.
[]
These are shockingly sad. A life on a conveyer belt. A trapped soul as part of the machine. Thats all we are. Thats all the artist was. This is what he saw everyday until he was hit by a train (possibly suicide) at the age of 32. Along with every other person who kils themselves in the country with the highest suicide rate in the world.
These pictures express the horror they have to escape and they are indeed real art.
[]
Very moving. Speaks a lot about asian cultures pressure to pick a career in your preteens & consumption. And says alot about loss of identity and personal-space in a culture obsessed with practicality also..
[]
Something tells me he's afraid of dentists...
[]
impressionante ... esse ser tem o dom do surrealismo ... fiquei fascinada!
[]
.... I like these a lot.... too bad the artist is no longer with us.... but now I am a fan too !!
[]
Powerful!
[]
this are amazing, it tells so much about modern life entanglement.
[]
pura vida!
