Tetsuya Ishida and Japan’s Lost Decade

The "Lost Decade" refers to the economic downturn that occurred in Japan during the 1990s, lasting for an extended period. Japan experienced rapid economic growth after World War II but faced a financial bubble in the late 1980s. Tetsuya Ishida, a painter during this time, depicted the monotony and sadness of the era through his powerful and poignant art, highlighting the struggles of ordinary people in the recession. An exhibition of his work was held at Gagosian Gallery in 2023.
