His work first garnered attention in the 1990s when he ushered in a new genre of painting, “Pop Surrealism,” dragging a host of followers in his wake. He has trumped the initial surrealist strategies by choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation. Ryden’s vocabulary ranges from cryptic to cute , treading a fine line between nostalgic cliché and disturbing archetype. Seduced by his infinitely detailed and meticulously glazed surfaces, the viewer is confronted with the juxtaposition of the childhood innocence and the mysterious recesses of the soul. A subtle disquiet inhabits his paintings; the work is achingly beautiful as it hints at darker psychic stuff beneath the surface of cultural kitsch. In Ryden’s world cherubic girls rub elbows with strange and mysterious figures . Ornately carved frames lend the paintings a baroque exuberance that adds gravity to their enigmatic themes. Complex in its arcane and idiosyncratic subject matter, Ryden’s work can leave no viewer unmoved . Pinxit , whose title refers to the Latin term meaning “painted by,” is organized by the themes of Ryden’s major exhibitions—The Meat Show, Bunnies & Bees, The Tree Show, and so on—and includes collected essays by Yoshitomo Nara, Carlo McCormick, and others, and a new essay by culture critic Kristine McKenna. Ryden’s paintings and drawings are reproduced using the finest technique available, and over a dozen of the paintings are foldouts that open to a staggering 150 cm (59 inches) across. Many books have been published on Mark Ryden before, but none like this large-format monograph, released in a boxed Collector’s Edition of 1,000 numbered copies, each signed by the artist ; and also available in an Art Edition of only 50 copies, which come with an artwork. This sweeping retrospective brings together nearly two decade’s worth of Mark Ryden’s paintings and works on paper, broadening the horizons of his uncanny universe and bringing it to the world, one big page at a time. Collector’s Edition – No. 51–1,050 Limited to 1,000 individually numbered copies, each signed by Mark Ryden Printed on archival-quality paper Quarter-bound book with leather spine Front cover features gold-relief embossing crafted by the master printers at Pressure Printing Comes in a clamshell box covered in cloth fabric Also available in an Art Edition of 50 copies with a silk screen print Review: Pinxit 2.0 is simply exquisite! - This is my second Pinxit book, yes I am a die hard Ryden fan that bought the limited edition version. I am madly in love with my limited edition copy (which is even bigger than this one!), but am scared to have anyone breathe on it. I bought this "unlimited edition" so that I could feel safe letting friends flip through it, rather than risking any damage to my signed copy. I was very pleased when I recieved my copy last week, it is almost as beautiful as the original, Taschen really puts out a stunning product. Even at $69.00 it is an incredible value, so the reduced $40 price on desertcart is practically a steal (the original was $1,000)! While not as big as the limited, its generous size and fabric cover will undoubtably impress. Every Ryden fan and art lover should have this in their library. The original is probably the most exquisite art book in the universe, version 2.0 is a close second! Go buy this book!!!!! Review: Ryden Lovers Will Rejoice - This beautiful and very large book offers the reader detailed images of the artwork of Mark Ryden. The book is divided into several sections, and each has an introduction by a different author. The text in this book is in English, French and German. The sections are: Preface The Artists Statement - Mark Ryden Introduction "Horror Vacui: Mark Ryden's Intricate World" - Kristine McKenna Works, Old and New "In the Pink of the Carnivalesque" - Debra J Byrne Includes: Slayer, Grey Animal, The Butcher Bunny, Blood, Sweat, Tears, The Creatrix The Meat Show "At Play in the Slaughterhouse of American Pop" - Carlo McCormick Includes: The Debutante, The Ecstacy of Cecelia, Inside Sue, Snow White Bunnies and Bees "Tracing the Connections Between Bunnies, Bees and Abe Lincoln" - Mike McGee Includes: Sophia's Mercurial Water, The Last Rabbit, The Magic Circus, The Ringmaster The Blood Show "Crimson Tide: The Blood Paintings" - Kristine McKenna Includes: Fountain, Wound, Weeping The Tree Show "Mark Ryden's Return to Nature" - Holly Myers Includes: Ghost Girl, The Apology, Dodecahedron Window, Allegory of the Four Elements, Yoshi, The Tree of Life The Snow Yak "Mark Ryden and the Snow Yak" - Kristen Anderson Includes: Long Yak, Heaven, Abominable, Grotto of the Old Mass, Snow Yak The Gay 90's "Searching for the Mystical in the Physical" - Amanda Erlanson Includes: Incarnation, Pink Lincoln, The Piano Man, The Parlour - Allegory of Magic, Quintessence, and Diving Mystery, Awakening the Moon Appendix "Finding Ryden" - Yoshitomo Nara The included artworks that I have mentioned are just a sample of the many paintings found in each section. Each section also has full page details from some of the paintings and there are several multi-page fold-outs included as well. Those familiar with Ryden's work may be familiar with some of the titles mentioned above, and some are familiar with his images and may not know the titles. For those more familiar with the images, in this book you will find big eyed children, suffering stuffed animals, many faces of Abe Lincoln, cuts of meat, pale ghostly girls, sinister liquids, unknown beasts, and many wonders that cannot be explained (by me). Ryden lovers will be captivated by the large detail images, they are beautiful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #11,085,808 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5,821 in Individual Artist Monographs | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 102 Reviews | ## Images ![Mark Ryden: Pinxit (Collector's) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hSODkKblL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pinxit 2.0 is simply exquisite! *by S***A on April 20, 2013* This is my second Pinxit book, yes I am a die hard Ryden fan that bought the limited edition version.

( As an artist I am always interested in seeing the process.) The articles consider Ryden's work from many angles and are generally informative without drifting too far into art speak. The main bodies of the artist's work are included here, and the reader can follow the development of Ryden's imagery as he progresses from one theme to another. Some may find the imagery disturbing or sacrilegious, but I don't think that is the artist's intent. He seems to be questioning all belief systems including consumerism, materialism, religion and mysticism by creating awkward encounters their between pop culture representatives. The results are often humorous, but when considered more carefully they allude to feelings of loss and bewilderment. What appears initially to be a twisted version of a greeting card or an illustration in a children's book, becomes an expression of spiritual unrest. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/19576035-mark-ryden-pinxit-collectors](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/19576035-mark-ryden-pinxit-collectors) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
