Mark Ryden's "Wood Meat Dress" Sculpture for Spanish Retrospective!

Fans of pop surrealist artist Mark Ryden are certainly not strangers to the "meat dress" concept, which we've notably seen in the stunning oil paintings Incarnation (#100) (2009) and Anatomia (2014). The above-pictured design is also not new, just the format is… Based on 2012's Porcelain Meat Dress edition design from the Gay 90's West exhibition, this new version is the aptly named Wood Meat Dress. A hand-painted polychrome carved wood sculpture, this 8- to 9-foot tall piece will debut at Ryden's retrospective exhibition Cámara de las Maravillas (trans. House of Wonders) at the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga in Spain. Included in the exhibition will be paintings, illustraitions, dioramas, and several sculptures in addition to the Wood Meat Dress. Opening on December 16th, this retrospective will remain on display in the space until March 5th, 2017.
