Japanese surrealist Tetsuya Ishida died after being hit by a train in 2005. After himself, he left more than 180 extremely gloomy paintings that depict modern life as it is. More precisely, how the artist sees it. I suppose that lovers of such painting would give a lot to understand why the thoughts of the Japanese author were so depressing, but alas, Tetsuya Ishida will never give an answer to this question …
These paintings contain fear and pain, hopelessness and despair, sarcasm and irony, as well as a lot, a lot of criticism that humanity deserves, following its passions and whims. In the paintings, the artist portrayed himself, and the subjects were literally underfoot, every day communicating with a variety of people, observing their behavior, studying and exploring humanity.
As we have already mentioned, in 2005, at the age of 32, the artist died under the wheels of a train. Although there are versions that it was suicide. How can such a vulnerable soul and such an inflamed consciousness last long in this cruel, cruel world of games, vices and hidden anger?

20 animals with unusual dark colors that look like hard rock stars
Animals are often compared to humans and vice versa. And how can we resist - after all, they are our smaller brothers (or we are theirs, it is from which side to look). One way or another, it is rather difficult to refrain from such comparisons - after all, we are with them very similar to each other. This review contains photographs of animals, looking at which one involuntarily recalls the stars from rock bands. However, people who are far from this musical direction will also like them
