One of the more striking works in this artist's series, this piece combines ISHISHI's characteristic architectural fantasy with a central zoomorphic subject. A stylized ram or ibex with sweeping segmented horns rendered in bands of green, orange, and teal dominates the foreground, its luminous white eyes creating a powerful focal point. Behind and around the creature, the artist's hallmark dense cityscape unfolds with arched doorways, spiral staircases, stepped pyramidal structures, and clustered village buildings. Large coral-pink peony-like flowers bloom in the upper left amid blue-green foliage, adding a further layer of visual richness. The palette here is particularly vibrant, with teal, coral, ochre, deep brown, blues, and magentas working together in the artist's characteristically exuberant layering technique.<br>
<br>
Signed "ISHISHI" lower right. The introduction of animal imagery alongside architecture and flora makes this one of the more compositionally varied and visually engaging works in the series. Works of this type by emerging artists with a distinctive established style typically achieve $150 to $600 at auction.<br>
