my latest discovery is mark ryder. omg! i love his works. here are some of his work---
creatrix
"Wound" from his 2003 solo showing "Blood"
clear hearts, grey flowers(gamay ra ang pix kay gitamad kog upload uie! pero sure lang, daghan ayos!)
mark ryden's works are surreal, cute and morbid, and intricate. i think it is a lot like alice in wonderland meets pop culture. he makes album covers (michael jackson, ringo star, etc.) and his interpretations of teletubies and some famous actors. it's hard to describe so to see more of his work, try to see http://www.wondertoonel.com/
"Well, I have to admit I don't really paint
my paintings; a Magic Monkey does. He
comes to my studio late at night, when it's
very quiet. Mysterious things happen late at
night when most people are asleep. I help
the magic monkey, but he does most of the
work. My job is to get him to show up. I've
been learning just what that takes. He is
very particular. The right frame of mind is
important; I have to switch my brain from
linear, logical thinking to creative, free
feeling. If I start to think too much, then it's
time for a nap or perhaps build a fort out of
blankets with my son. Things have to flow
from a place that is more subconscious and
uninhibited. When you believe and have
faith things will flow. You can really feel it.
It's like magic. The monkey comes tapping
at the door, we get the paint and brushes
out of the treasure chest and we have a
great time making art."
Mark Ryden, October, 1999
