The artwork, titled “Anatomia (#109)”, was created by the artist Mark Ryden in the year 2014. Executed in oil, it belongs to both the Lowbrow Art and Surrealism movements and is classified within the genre of portraiture. This particular piece is part of Ryden’s “Dodecahedron” series.
The artwork depicts a young girl standing in a verdant, natural setting under a partly cloudy sky. The girl’s anatomy is displayed in a surreal manner: her body opens up to reveal her internal organs, portrayed in a highly detailed and almost whimsical style. Her expression is placid and contemplative, creating a striking contrast with the vivid, almost fantastical presentation of her inner body. The meticulous attention to detail and delicate rendering of both the girl’s features and the surrounding nature contribute to the dreamlike, surreal quality of the piece. The scene is suffused with an eerie yet innocent atmosphere, characteristic of Ryden’s distinct artistic style.
