Fusing popular culture with skills reminiscent of the old masters, American painter Mark Ryden (born January 20. 1963 in Medford, Oregon) creates artworks that blur the lines between high and low. His work first garnered attention in the 1990s when his new genre of painting, lowbrow or ‘pop’ surrealism, gained currency. His subject matter has many sources for inspiration and melds ritualized spectacle with consumer objects, creating tableaus loaded with cultural connotation both historical and contemporary.
