The Gay 90's Old Tyme Art Show - ONLY 2 days left!



Mark Ryden has an exhibit at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in NYC till June 5th. That's only 2 more days to see if folks. So grab your metro card and head down to 10th Ave and check it out. This is a show you dont want to miss.

Ryden, a master of the paintbrush, is a Surrealist-ish artist who blends modern culture references with chops of meat and a touch of early religious influences. Looking at his pieces, it is easy to lose track of time. I often wonder why the characters in his work all seem like everything is normal and dont notice they are made up of lamb chops and baby back ribs. There is a lot of questions asked and many connections to be drawn when viewing Ryden's stuff. Bottom line is I like his work and its fun to look at over and over.
