The artwork titled “Untitled,” created by Tetsuya Ishida in 2001, belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is categorized as a symbolic painting.
The artwork features a surreal and thought-provoking scene. It depicts a row of what appear to be ATM cubicles, with a suited man confined individually in each one. The man is seated with his trousers down, holding a piece of paper, evoking a sense of entrapment and absurdity. The repeated imagery of the man in identical cubicles further amplifies the surreal and symbolic nature of the piece, suggesting themes of mechanization, dehumanization, and existential crisis. The cool, muted color palette and meticulous details contribute to a highly realistic yet disconcerting atmosphere.
