Step Into the Wondrous Gallery of Creatures with Mark Ryden Yakalina Secrets: New Shows from the Godfather of Pop Surrealism! Mark Ryden's Yakalina Secrets is the wondrous second installment in the artist's incredible gallery of creatures. Featuring a foreword by Takashi Murakami, this book captures Mark Ryden beginning a series of his iconic half-animal, half-plush creatures in his Pacific Northwest studio during the isolation of COVID-19, further exploring his reverence for these beings who act as guides through a landscape of the unknown. The figures in these paintings are neither human nor animal; they are spiritual entities that create a bridge between the human and animal worlds in which so much disharmony exists. This book features all of the original portraits of Ryden's mysterious and mythical creatures, embodying the artist's meticulously realized signature blend of archetype, kitsch, and narrative mysticism. It stands as an absolute cornerstone reference archive for pop surrealism enthusiasts, contemporary art collectors, and dedicated Mark Ryden fans.
