| Mark's
paintings instantly trigger a warped deja vu. His work recalls a parallel
universe of 1950s Golden Books and the whimsy of Lewis Carroll. His cheery
bunnies, rendered in the glowing hues of children's books, are likely to
be carving slabs of meat rather than frolicking in the forest. Ryden's work
mingles superb technique with outre images to create a world of strange
and disturbing beauty. Mark's paintings are treasured by collectors from Australia to Sweden. A few of his clients include Stephen King, Leonardo DiCaprio, Patrick Leonard, Ringo Starr, Danny Elfman, Kirk Hammett, Paul Leary, Chris Carter, Don Was, Kidada Jones, Bridget Fonda, Henry Selik and the famous anti-mogul Long Gone John.
