Los Angeles artist Mark Ryden combines the arcane with pop-cultural imagery, as ground from which to make his carefully executed leaps into fantasy. The Tree Show includes depictions of oak trees consuming children, floating tree stumps with “seeing” eyes, imaginary wood nymphs and mythological characters who personify Nature herself. This special edition of Mark Ryden’s bestselling The Tree Show features works from the artist’s major solo exhibition at the Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles.

The hard-bound book includes over 130 color images of paintings, drawings, studies and sculptural works as well as a wealth of Mark’s inspirational reference materials. Each signed and numbered Special Edition book comes in a handmade clamshell box covered in a fine Japanese silk. The edition also comes with a collection of “Vintage Souvenirs” including a miniature postcard set, commemorative pin, pennant, bookmark and pencil.
