Synopsis "Mark Ryden Yakalina Secrets: New Shows from the Godfather of Pop Surrealism"

Mark Ryden's Yakalina Secrets is the wondrous second installment in the artist's incredible gallery of creatures. Foreword by Takashi Murakami In his Pacific Northwest studio during the isolation of COVID-19, Mark Ryden began a series of his iconic half-animal, half-plush creatures that further explored his reverence for these beings, who are guides through a landscape of the unknown. The figures in these paintings are neither human nor animal, they are spiritual entities that create a bridge between the human and animal worlds in which so much disharmony exists. This book features all of the original portraits of Ryden's mysterious and mythical creatures. The resulting gallery of enchanted characters embodies the artist's meticulously realized signature blend of archetype, kitsch, and narrative mysticism. Mark Ryden'sYakalina Secrets features works from two of the artist's exhibitions, organized in collaboration with Emmanuel Perrotin and Kasmin Gallery: Animal Secrets in Paris and Yakalina 9 in Tokyo.

Originally from Osaka Prefecture, Takashi Murakami made his debut with a one-shot in Shueisha's Young Jump in 1985 while still attending the University of Tokyo. He later published several short stories, all set in comedy, until his first success in 2000: Paji. This also marked a turning point in his career as he ventured into the drama of slice of life. The work published in Young Jump consisted of 9 volumes and received the Excellence Award from the Japan Media Arts Festival.

Although he continued to publish comedies, it is especially his realistic dramas that are most successful. Such is the case with The Blue Bird, The Dog in Love with the Stars, and Kota, come here!
