Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Absorbing Roman poet Ovid's tales of transformation and infusing them with art-historical references and contemporary pop culture, Mark Ryden explores new terrain in his latest work. "Arcadian Gothic" hints at the essence of this collection, where fans will discover familiar themes in paintings, drawings, and sculptures created since his first solo show in 1998. Ryden's art is rich with layers of reference, merging Renaissance landscape and Neoclassical portraiture with elements of occultism and literature. His latest pieces blend the arcane with pop-cultural imagery, allowing for imaginative leaps into fantasy. The series features oak trees consuming children, floating tree stumps with "seeing" eyes, and mythological characters personifying Nature. Ryden's characters shine with a porcelain glow reminiscent of Ingres, while his trees are rendered with the meticulousness of Audubon's illustrations. Many paintings are presented in intricately carved frames that extend their narratives beyond the canvas. This volume includes reproductions of Ryden's work alongside his research on the tree as a mythological symbol, drawing from diverse sources such as the Buddha's Bodhi Tree, Adam and Eve, and ecological science. It serves as an enticing dossier on Ryden's comprehensive exploration of the arboreal world. Mark Ryden, born in Medford, Oregon, holds a BFA from Art Center College of Design and currently resides in Los Angeles.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good +. First Edition. Signed by in black ink on the first page by the artist, Mark Ryden. [52]pp. Quarto [30.5cm]; perfect-bound in illustrated wraps, with only very insignificant traces of soiling to the wraps. Small bump and resulting crease at the bottom right corner of the cover and first few pages. Internally clean and sharp. An exhibition catalog that was produced for shows at the Earl McGrath Gallery in New York City in 2001, and for the Grant Central Art Center in Santa Ana, California in 2002. Nice reproductions of the Pop/Surrealist master's "paintings created to illustrated Divine Truth in accordance with the secret principles of Science & Soul." "What is it that makes Mark Ryden's paintings so engaging? At the crux of his paintings is the surrealist strategy of combining unrelated images to create scenes that could never exist in reality. Dali always claimed that his selection of subject matter was completely random and involved no conscious thought whatsoever. In 1924, when Andre Breton wrote the Surrealist Manifesto, the notion of fusing the rationally unrelated was so fresh that the combination of almost any imagery or objects was provocative. Man Ray produced a startlingly enchanting object by simply putting a row of tacks on the underside of an antique iron. But as the decades have passed Dali's brand of pure surrealism has lost much of its potency. Perhaps it is because reality has become increasingly surreal, but the near ecclesiastical gravity with which the surrealists approached their work in pre-WWI Europe doesn't play the same today. In contemporary, culture pure surrealism's most common, and effective, use is as a strategy to achieve humor in movies. Ryden has trumped the initial surrealist strategies by consciously choosing subject matter for his paintings that are loaded with cultural connotation. He relies on the irrational to help him achieve intuitive leaps in his combining of subject matter: with dazzling results. The sheer amount of layered information in each painting also contributes substantially to the impact of his work, But the crowning factor with Ryden is that he is an artist in touch with his time. The overall look and feel of his paintings and the stuff he finds interesting strikes a resounding cord with contemporary everyman." - Mike McGee, from the preface. Signed.…
