Based in Boston, US, Mary L. Peng is a self-taught multi-media artist, spanning collage, digital work, oil and acrylic painting, mixed-media installation, and photography, whose oeuvre delves into the intricate links between the human body and psyche, reality, perception, and nature. Peng's paintings are characterized by intricate, abstract shapes and patterns that interweave and undulate, celebrating the interconnectedness of the human mind, body, and nature, utilizing organic forms and colors to create an impression of oneness from chaos. Rooted in her commitment to expand the ever-evolving relationship between humans and the mediums they employ that "massage" their reality, Peng sets out to capture the contradiction and harmony of human existence through her abstract art. Featured by Adobe Photoshop and multiple digital galleries, Peng’s collage work, marked by its signature dream-like surreal compositions, is known for its whimsical exploration of retrofuturism and the boundary between reality, perception, and imagination that cross the many realms of possibility. As a digital artist commissioned by institutions like Yale Schwarzman Center and Yale Center for Medical Informatics and exhibited by a range of international galleries in New York, London, and Venice, Peng centers her static and animated digital work on the blending of organic forms with futuristic elements, oscillating between outright exploration of ethereal beauty and the probing of philosophical concepts on reality, perception, constructionism, and connectedness.nd connectedness.
