Chris Ryniak's "FREYJA" at Dragon*Con

Renowned painter-sculptor Chris Ryniak has earned high praise and world acknowledgment as a ‘creature creator’. In its simplest definition xenomorphic means unusual or strange form but there is nothing simple about Chris’ artworks that are in high demand by collectors globally. His creations and imagery are at once compelling and provoking, executed with the power and mastery of an artist who brings fantasy to life…

Ryniak’s ‘Freyja’ project is best described in his own words: “Long before the civilization of and the natural world thrived. With an uncompromising power to create, destroy and re-grow to fit the needs of its self-sustaining planet, nature was a perfect machine, billions of years in the making. Freyja is the embodiment of that power that many have grown to ignore to pursue the cerebral endeavors of humanity. Protector and custodian of the flora and fauna that continues to flourish while the world of man inches toward extinction. Freya waits patiently until the day when the world is balanced once again.” The original form was sculpted by Chris Ryniak and hand cast by Mana Studios in siltec resin (hand painted, signed and numbered by Chris). The Dragon*Con colorway marks the sculpture’s debut and will be in an edition of 40. This piece is just less than 7” tall and will retail for $85.

Also available at the Circus Posterus booth will be a selection of original sketches, Chris’ new hard-covered book Shadows in the Periphery, stickers, postcards, and new limited edition prints. Chris will be participating on panels at Dragon*Con as well as signing at the Circus Posterus booth (BT 1) on Friday, September 4 at 3 PM.
