About Rosie's Tea Party

“Rosie’s Tea Party,” painted by Mark Ryden in 2005, is an oil painting that falls under the Lowbrow Art movement and the genre of genre painting. The artwork presents a surreal and unsettling tea party scene, infused with whimsical yet disturbing elements.

In the artwork, a young girl with blonde hair and a pink flower in her hair is seen preparing for a tea party. She holds a saw, poised to cut into a large piece of meat. Around the table are a mix of bizarre and innocent figures: a pink rabbit pouring tea, a baby doll, a toy doll couple, and various meats displayed on the table. The scene is set in a room with pastel pink and white striped walls, and a framed sign that reads “Be Good” hangs above them. The juxtaposition of the macabre elements with the innocent, childlike setting creates a disconcerting yet captivating visual narrative.
