Mark Ryden: Pinxit is a large-format retrospective monograph published by TASCHEN, bringing together nearly two decades of Mark Ryden’s paintings and works on paper. Organized around the themes of Ryden’s major exhibitions, the book gives readers a deep look inside his surreal world of big-eyed figures, strange animals, meat, religious symbolism, pop culture, and dreamlike Americana.

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. He has trumped the initial surrealist strategies by choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation.


Ryden’s vocabulary ranges from cryptic to cute, treading a fine line between nostalgic cliché and disturbing archetype. Seduced by his infinitely detailed and meticulously glazed surfaces, the viewer is confronted with the juxtaposition of the childhood innocence and the mysterious recesses of the soul.
