Mark Ryden - The Parlor – Allegory of Magic, Quintessence, and Divine Mystery, Oil on Canvas, 2012

“Blending themes of pop culture with techniques reminiscent of the old masters, Mark Ryden has created a singular style that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. His work first garnered attention in the 1990s when he ushered in a new genre of painting, "Pop Surrealism", dragging a host of followers in his wake. Ryden has trumped the initial surrealist strategies by choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation.

He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.”
