Animal Secrets
May 19 - July 30, 2022
2BIS AVENUE MATIGNON 75008 PARIS
Perrotin and Kasmin are delighted to announce a jointly organized exhibition of new work by American artist Mark Ryden (b. 1963, United States). Animal Secrets will be presented in Perrotin's Paris gallery from May 19–July 30, 2022, comprising 10 paintings and 12 works on paper that further develop the artist’s series of portraiture featuring mysterious and mythical creatures. The resulting gallery of enchanted characters embodies the artist’s meticulously-realized signature blend of archetype, kitsch, and narrative mysticism. Animal Secrets is conceived alongside the artist’s most recent exhibition in Tokyo, Yakalina 9.
