<b>ISHISHI - Butterfly, Church Towers and Serpentine Forms - Signed Work on Paper, 2026</b><br>
Signed contemporary work on paper. Cubist/surrealist mixed-subject composition. Colored pencil on paper. Unframed.<br><br>
<b>Description</b><br>
One of the most visually varied works in the 2026 ISHISHI group, this composition mixes subject categories with surrealist freedom. A large butterfly or moth with prominent concentric-circle wing patterns sits at the centre. Church towers with arched windows, domes, stairways and columns form the architectural backdrop at left. A stylised human face or profile appears in pale blue at upper right. Serpentine or dragon-like curving forms wind through the lower right. A small group of figures is visible in the mid-right area. The whole is packed tightly in the warm earth tones of rusts, ochres and browns alongside blues, greens and muted yellows.<br><br>
Pin holes at top edge indicate prior display. Verso: "© 2026". In good condition. Signed "ISHISHI" at lower right.<br><br>
