Celebrated Pop Surrealist artist Mark Ryden’s newest body of work, presented in this book for the first time.
Crowned "the high prince of Lowbrow," Mark Ryden has become a fixture of the contemporary alternative art movement. In his newest work, Mark Ryden: The Gay 90’s, the artist casts his skewed perspective toward the turn of the nineteenth century with such creepy yet beautiful works as a portrait of Abraham Lincoln dressed in foppish 1890s fashion and surrounded with a heavenly nimbus, Jesus Christ playing a pink piano for an audience of kewpie triplet girls, and a Gibson girl in a tight corset constructed entirely of meat.
With masterful painting technique and disquieting content, Ryden’s newest paintings display his fascination with the earnest kitsch found in popular art of the end of the 1800s, yet reinforces how his paintings now more than ever are a skewering of both historical and current pop cultural touchstones. Ryden’s visual cues range from cryptic to cute, balancing his compositions between nostalgic cliché and disturbing archetype.
This book showcases his talent for creating paintings that marry accessibility and technique with visceral resonance and sociocultural relevance, making it easy to see why he garners the ardent attention of museums, critics, and serious collectors alike.
About the Author:
Blending pop cultural themes with art techniques reminiscent of the Old Masters, Mark Ryden has created a singular style that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. His paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide, and his work is part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Amanda Erlanson is a writer, art collector, and editor of the art blog "Erratic Phenomena."

In much the way that the CD replaced the album, the poster has waned as a messaging vehicle. The poster has now become a postcard and e-mail blast, leaving many to long for the lost age when posters were not only major promotional vehicles, but also artwork worthy of framing.

Life’s ironies are easier to take in with a sugar coating.
This coating entertains and acts as a remedy for the bitter truth while you die laughing. Brimming with cheerful colours, juxtaposed details and quirky characters, illustrations of dark humour weave together a twisted yet oddly familiar narrative we can all empathise with.
Off the Wall amasses 30 some artists whose works are as somber as they are hilarious. Look at how satirical ideas play out in imagery to voice societal concerns, reflect on human nature or simply as a candid expression of the artist’s peculiar creative universe.
Through short interviews and a carefully edited showcase, the book takes readers to explore artists’ enigmatic minds as they give insight into how they walk the fine line between being funny and unsettling.
Olbinski combines painting, illustration, graphic design, typography, and stage design into poignant and memorable images, revealing his exceptional ability to depict the world of performing arts and entertainment in his own unique form
Picnic is the compliation of the best works from the new-wave of international artists, setting new directions in retro-inspired modernist and folkloric illustration. Their old-school methods of using silk-printed graphics, collage photocopying, engraving, hand-drawing, lettering and stencilling, lend the work a strong personality and originality, far removed from the more sterile, minimal cutting-edge design trends seen over the last decade. This refereshing work is a nod to the golden age of graphic design in the 50s and 60s in 20th century Europe.
This book recalls the techniques used by the grand maestros of design and illustration, Saul Bass, John Hubley (Mr.Magoo), Friz Felang (Pink Panther and legends of pop graphic design, Milton Glaser, Paul Rand and Edelman.
300 illustrations
Pictures and Words collects some of the most outstanding contemporary examples of pictorial storytelling. Celebrating illustration that stands on its own to tell a story rather than simply accompanying or adorning another medium, the book includes extracts from graphic novels, comic strips and books, as well as single-panel cartoons and drawings. Words are present in the form of character dialogue or narration, or sometimes a story emerges from a series of illustrated panels that contain no text at all. With or without words, this is a highly expressive medium, dealing with a vast range of subjects from political issues to the most complex of human emotions. Comics and graphic novels are currently enjoying huge popularity in mainstream culture. This timely book brings together work by 30 key artists from around the world, including Paul Davis, Benoît Jacques and Andrzej Klimowski.
