Mark Ryden. Pinxit - Reviews
| "The godfather of Pop Surrealism."— Interview, New York, United States |
| „Im TASCHEN Verlag ist ein neues Buch des Meisters des Pop-Surrealismus erschienen.“— www.provocateur-magazin.de, Wien, Austria |
| “Cherubic girls, psychic figures and disturbing archetypes are the body and soul of artist Mark Ryden <http://www.markryden.com/> ’s work, the king of cultural kitsch who since the 90’s has drawn global attention. His paintings are among the most recognizable, with big-eyed, nostalgic dressed girls, mythical bunnies and lots of meat. Pinxit is a new limited-edition book by TASCHEN featuring highlights from Ryden’s greatest exhibitions and includes collected essays by Yoshitomo Nara, Carlo McCormick and others along with a new essay by culture critic Kristine McKenna. All his paintings and sketches are reproduced with the finest techniques available, while over a dozen of them are foldouts.”— Fashioninstallation.com, |
| “Es la solución para bibliófilos y amantes de apilar publicaciones en la mesita de café. Pinxit de Mark Ryden (TASCHEN) es una edición limitada a 1000 ejemplares de este maestro del llamado surrealismo pop o low brow, movimiento norteamericano de los noventa que aúna magia y cultura popular.”— Shangay, Madrid, Spain |
| „Mark Ryden verbindet Themen aus der Popkultur mit altmeisterlicher Technik und verwischt so aufs Schönste die Grenzen zwischen High und Low.“— http://t-h-i-n-g-s.blogspot.de, Wien, Austria |
| “Macabra dulzura. Inquietantes niñas de ojos grandes, misteriosas criaturas que podrían haber salido de la imaginación de Lewis Carroll, fantasías ligeras como escalofríos, nubes y carne. El imaginario de Mark Ryden oscila entre el sueño y la pesadilla. Una ambigüedad que ha llevado su obra a ser conocida y reconocida en todo el mundo. Ahora la editorial TASCHEN dedica a este pintor estadounidense una monografía en edición limitada (y superlimitada) que se titula Pinxit y que recorre las últimas dos décadas de su trabajo.”— Lainformacion.com, Madrid, Spain |
| "Molti libri su Mark Ryden sono stati pubblicati prima d'ora, ma nessuno come la monografia di TASCHEN svela in modo così puntale il suo misterioso e inquietante universo. ... La confezione rosa confetto con scritte in oro sembra preludere a una favola per bambine ma come sempre accade con Ryden nulla è ciò che sembra. Basta voltare pagina per piombare in un mondo dove l'iconografia delle fiabe viene stravolta. ... Pagina dopo pagina, il lettore viene trascinato in un mondo di incerta bellezza nel quale i simboli finiscono per essere stravolti o dissacrati. Non è solo l'alchimia delle composizioni a sconcertare, ma il senso di straniamento che deriva dalla sua tecnica: precisa fino all'ossessione, in perenne equilibrio tra arte classica e cultura pop, tra naif e macabro. ... Per chi sceglie Pinxit c'è solo la bellezza inquietante di un mondo che non si può decifrare, sotto la quale traspare la parte oscura dell'animo umano."— La Repubblica, Roma, Italy |
| "Many books have been published on Mark Ryden before, but none like this large-format monograph, released in a boxed Collector’s Edition of 1,000 numbered copies, each signed by the artist. This sweeping retrospective brings together nearly two decade’s worth of Mark Ryden’s paintings and works on paper, broadening the horizons of his uncanny universe and bringing it to the world, one big page at a time."— Boingboing.net, Los Angeles, United States |
| "Ardent fans of the pop surrealist maestro Mark Ryden can pick up a new tome of work spanning Ryden's impressive career published by influential publishing company TASCHEN. The book is a gorgeous, giant piece work in itself, with beautifully reproduced images, tons of essays (including one by yours truly, featured in Hi Fructose Vol 11) gold leaf cover details, and many foldouts (some as wide as 59 inches across!) so the incredible detail of the paintings and drawings can be poured over."— Hifructose.com, Richmond, United States |
| "The impressive publication, Pinxit, is a comprehensive 366 page survey of Ryden’s 20 year career and is currently available as the Collector’s Edition of 1,000 ($1000). We first saw this fantastic book at the Art Basel Miami release party and came away impressed."— Arrestedmotion.com, Los Angeles, United States |
