About Michael Jackson’s Dangerous

The artwork titled “Michael Jackson’s Dangerous” was created by artist Mark Ryden in 1991. This piece, executed in oil on canvas, belongs to the Lowbrow Art movement and falls under the figurative genre.

The artwork showcases an intricate and surreal composition dominated by a large mask-like face prominently displaying the eyes of Michael Jackson, positioned centrally at the upper portion. Around this central visage, an elaborate and ornate theatrical framework is filled with symbolic and fantastical imagery. This includes a variety of figures, animals, and objects, all meticulously detailed. The center of the composition contains a blue globe encapsulated in a machine-like structure, accessed by a winding path akin to a roller coaster, suggesting a journey or adventure. The imagery within the artwork is rich and dense, inviting the viewer into a world that is both whimsical and profound, reflecting elements of fantasy while alluding to deeper narratives and mythologies. The use of vivid colors and detailed rendering is characteristic of Mark Ryden’s style, making this piece a fascinating and layered visual experience.
