“**Ear (#112)**” is an oil painting created in 2014 by the artist Mark Ryden. This piece belongs to the “Dodecahedron” series and falls under the genres of Lowbrow Art, Surrealism, and figurative art. The artwork showcases Ryden’s distinct style, replete with whimsical and enigmatic elements.
The artwork presents a surreal scene featuring a young girl in a yellow dress, standing on a lush green field. Her expression is contemplative as she gazes at an unusual, plant-like structure that resembles a human ear. The ear-like formation is adorned with delicate, pink branches and detailed textures, adding to the bizarre, dreamlike quality of the piece. The grassy foreground is rich with various small plants and flowers, contributing to the painterly, almost whimsical, atmosphere. The muted color palette and soft, meticulous brushstrokes evoke a sense of otherworldliness, characteristic of Ryden’s surrealistic and Lowbrow Art style.
