Aurora (#114), 2015
In Mark Ryden's monumental oil-on-canvas masterpiece from the Dodecahedron series, a nude young girl stands melancholically in shallow, reflective waters, her ethereal gaze fixed on a distant horizon. Rocky mountains loom under a cloudy sky, evoking surreal isolation and divine mystery. At 112 x 58 inches, Ryden's Pop Surrealist vision bridges antiquity's geometric enigma with modern whimsy, glazed in baroque splendor.
