Bunnies and Bees: Micro-Portfolio 3 by Mark Ryden [2009]
A spectacular set; a perfect gift. Brand new shrink-wrapped copies of this silkboxed set of prints, numbered on the vellum inside, and on the back out of the edition of 10,000. By far the most value offered in a Mark Ryden micro-portfolio. A favorite of CULT.
Portfolio of 14 prints, including a numbered certificate. Prints are 8" x 10" high quality lithographic printing on cardstock with an embossed border. Prints come in a Japanese silk covered box. This portfolio features paintings, details and studies from the Mark Ryden Bunnies and Bees show.
Edition of 10,000. Print Size: 8" x 10"
From Last Gasp: "This beautiful boxed portfolio from Mark Ryden features thirteen 8" x 10" prints from Ryden's Bunnies & Bees Show. The images include all the paintings, plus some details and drawings from the show. It is a limited numbered edition of 10,000, and includes a certificate of authenticity in addition to the thirteen prints.
In his hauntingly beautiful and masterfully executed oil paintings, Ryden creates his own contemporary mythologies whose archetypes include fairy tale creatures, historical figures, and pop cultural icons. Seamlessly juxtaposing macabre motifs with eye-pleasing ingénues and seductive landscapes, the artist produces a vision of society in which menace and comfort are inseparably interwoven.
Mark Ryden was born in Medford, Oregon and received his BFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 1987."
