• MARK RYDEN book and portfolio!

Fushigi Circus is a hardcover, 128 page, clothbound collection of the works of Mark Ryden. This Japanese language book features

works, including Blood, Sweat, Tears, and The Creatrix, and a survey of 55 of Mark Ryden's works from past shows through early 2005.

Bunnies and Bees portfolio: Portfolio of 14 prints, including a numbered certificate. Prints are 8" x 10" high quality lithographic printing on cardstock with an embossed border. Prints come in a Japanese silk covered box. This portfolio features paintings, details and studies from the Mark Ryden Bunnies and Bees show. Edition of 10,000.

Mark Ryden came to preeminence in the 1990’s during a time when many artists, critics and collectors were quietly championing a return to the art of painting. With his masterful technique and disquieting content, Ryden quickly became one of the leaders of this movement on the West Coast.

Upon first glance Ryden’s work seems to mirror the Surrealists’ fascination with the subconscious and collective memories. However, Ryden transcends the initial Surrealists’ strategies by consciously choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation. His dewy vixens, cuddly plush pets, alchemical symbols, religious emblems, primordial landscapes and slabs of meat challenge his audience not necessarily with their own oddity but with the introduction of their soothing cultural familiarity into unsettling circumstances.

Viewers are initially drawn in by the comforting beauty of Ryden’s pop-culture references, then challenged by their circumstances, and finally transported to the artist’s final intent – a world where creatures speak from a place of childlike honesty about the state of mankind and our relationships with ourselves, each other and our past.

Clearly infused with classical references, Ryden’s work is not only inspired by recent history, but also the works of past masters. He counts among his influences Bosch, Bruegel and Ingres with generous nods to Bouguereau and Italian and Spanish religious painting.

He and his wife Marion Peck (also a wonderful artist) have created a short video. Comic Carnival will soon have the book based on this video.

Many of Ryden's items have become collector's items as he becomes more known. Now is your chance to have art that will stun and amaze you!
