The artwork, titled “Snow White,” was created by Mark Ryden in 1997. It is an oil painting, measuring 122 x 183 cm, and belongs to the Lowbrow Art and Surrealism movements. This piece is a part of “The Meat Show” series and falls under the genres of literary painting and nude painting (nu).
In the artwork, a nude young woman with short, dark hair is prominently positioned in the foreground. She reclines on a luxuriously ornate surface, holding a book adorned with an illustrated face. The background is an intriguing blend of surreal elements, featuring mythical landscapes and dinosaurs. To the right, a doll in a bunny costume sits atop a slab of meat, holding a cross and a small flag with the number seven. The vivid colors, whimsical characters, and detailed textures epitomize Ryden’s distinctive style, blending fantastical and unsettling imagery to provoke thought and evoke emotion.
