Birdie 47 - Art is...

Have you heard about Mark Ryden? Well, I knew about him because of a friend of my mother, which is an art teacher, and I simply loved his paintings. He's an american painter, very known because of the landscapes and scenery almost childish, but with very grotesque and provocative characteristics, an art between the obscene and the inoccence. People fights to get painted by him, and to buy his paintings, who are very associated to occultism, because of the alchemic and magic hidden symbols. Definetly, he wants to break schemes. If you see his page, his actual exposition, The Gay's 90's shows a pink-dressed Abraham Lincoln.

Han oido hablar de Mark Ryden? Bueno, yo lo conoci por una amiga de mi mamá, que es profesora de artes, y me fascinó. Es un pintor americano, muy conocido por pintar paisajes y dibujos casi infantiles, pero con caracteristicas practicamente grotescas, y provocativas, un arte a medio camino entre lo obsceno y lo inocente. La gente se pelea por ser retratada por el y comprar sus cuadros, los cuales segun se dice, tienen una gran cantidad de simbolos alquimicos y magicos ocultos. Definitivamente, busca romper esquemas. Si revisan su pagina, su actual exposicion, The Gay's 90's muestra a un Abraham Lincoln vestido de rosa.
