“Dymaxion Principle (#110)” by Mark Ryden, created in 2014, is a figurative oil painting that belongs to the “Dodecahedron” series. The artwork is part of the Lowbrow Art and Surrealism movements.
The artwork depicts two figures in a serene, pastoral landscape. On one side, a bald figure with a contemplative expression, adorned in a dark, monk-like robe, sits with an open hand raised in a seemingly philosophical gesture. Opposite this figure sits a young girl in a soft-pink dress, her large, doe-like eyes adding a surreal quality to her presence. Floating between them, slightly elevated, is a green dodecahedron-shaped cluster, which contrasts against the gentle, muted hues of the natural background. The entire scene evokes a sense of timelessness and mystery, characteristic of Ryden’s intricate, surrealist style.
