Description
“Blood” - SIGNED AND NUMBERED SPECIAL BOXED LIMITED EDITION with SIGNED AND NUMBERED ORIGINAL PRINT Photography by Mark Ryden Porterhouse Fine Art, Los Angeles, 2004 SIGNED AND NUMBERED SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION with SIGNED AND NUMBERED ORIGINAL PRINT, LEATHER-BOUND Mark Ryden's exhibition “Blood” was accompanied by a miniature book of the same name. This is an expanded SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION of that book. It features some of Ryden's familiar motifs – Abe Lincoln makes an appearance, sans body, and we come across adorably creepy children, unfazed by the blood leaking from their heads, or, in one instance, a girl holding her own severed head, a fountain of blood spurting from her neck. The Artist reveals his devastation at the breakup of his 14-year marriage as motivation: "The hopes you have for your life and family get torn apart and it causes a pain very deep inside. I found it curious that there was no blood with my trauma. It seemed like with so much pain I should be covered in blood. I wanted to be able to see my wounds, but they were not on the surface of my flesh." In the book, Ryden includes the basic sketches and drawings that are remarkably close to the surreal and eerie final product. Of the small size of the paintings, he remarks: "Making these paintings at such a tiny scale captured the right tone. I didn’t want them huge and screaming blood. I didn’t feel like doing that. My intention was much more quiet and introspective. I wanted them to be more of a whisper." From the Publisher: "SPECIAL BOXED LIMITED EDITION of 'BLOOD.'
