The artwork titled “Chroma Structure (#113)” was created by artist Mark Ryden in 2015, utilizing the medium of oil. It is associated with the Lowbrow Art and Surrealism movements and is categorized as genre painting. This work is part of the “Dodecahedron” series.
The artwork presents a surreal and thought-provoking scene set within a serene and detailed landscape. Central to the composition is a multicolored, geometric structure resembling a dodecahedron, which stands against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery. To the right of this vivid geometric form sits a young girl with melancholic eyes, dressed in a pink dress, holding a small dog in her lap. The juxtaposition of the colorful, abstract structure and the lifelike, contemplative figure of the girl creates a striking contrast that is characteristic of Ryden’s distinctive style. The meticulously rendered natural elements and the dreamlike atmosphere evoke a sense of wonder and mystery, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the symbolism and narrative of the piece.
