ISHISHI <b>ISHISHI- Cubist Architectural Fantasy with Classical Elements - Signed Work on Paper, 2026</b><br> Signed contemporary work on paper. Cubist-inspired architectural fantasy. Colored pencil on heavy paper. Unframed.<br><br> <b>Description</b><br> A cool-toned Cubist architectural composition of considerable intricacy. The scene builds an impossible classical world of sweeping curved balustrades with egg-shaped balusters, receding staircases in the upper left, rows of blue-green columns, and domed structures banded in alternating green and gold. Nested rectangular courtyards viewed from above give the composition a vertiginous, M.C. Escher quality. The whole is rendered with careful geometric precision and smooth tonal gradation.<br><br> The palette is predominantly cool: blues, teals, sage greens, with accents of ochre and gold and cream. The draftsmanship is disciplined, with each architectural element convincingly shaded to create three-dimensional illusion. The work is signed in red at lower right. The verso bears a copyright notation.<br><br> A cohesive and detailed work in the same artistic tradition as Lot 300 (SHASHI), and likely from the same collection consignment. The artist ISHISHIis a contemporary signed artist with no current established auction record.<br><br> <b>Features</b><br> * Signed lower right in red: "ISHISHI"<br> * Cubist/architectural fantasy with classical architectural elements<br> * Colored pencil on heavy paper<br> * Cool palette: blues, teals, greens, ochre, gold<br> * Copyright notation on verso: copyright 2026<br> * Portrait orientation, unframed and unmounted<br><br> <b>Condition</b><br> * Very good.
