Exhibition Mark Ryden "The Gay 90's" - Kohn Gallery

Mark Ryden ... Mark Ryden ... This name is surely not unknown.

In effect, Mark Ryden Is an American painter really apart, and deep down, that's what we like and touches us in the depths of ourselves, is not it? This particularity, this originality in the choice of his subjects and staged, Mark Ryden made his strength and his singularity. Kitsh and folk art are on the program!

Funny dolls with penetrating eyes, monsters and animals as dark as cute, Mark Ryden, created a universe that is clean and above all that differentiates it from all the others. There is a real offset between the often soft and magical environment, and the characters. Which initially can put ourselves uncomfortable, then with backwardness, everything is perfect. Without this side "trash" and offbeat, everything would seem much flatter and would brush the naisy. There is the genius of Mark Ryden.
