The magical surrealism of Jen Ray.<br />
Ain’t We Got Fun<br />
category release<br />
The large-fomat works of the American artist Jen Ray transport their viewers<br />
into a surreal universe. The mystical realism of her images is reminiscent of<br />
the worlds created by Alejandro Jodorowsky or Moebius or those featured in<br />
Japanese manga culture.<br />
Jen Ray grew up in a secluded log cabin in the woods of rural South Carolina.<br />
The formative influence of this distance to and innocence of the larger<br />
world is clearly reflected in the figures in her artwork who are surrounded<br />
by a vast, white nothingness. The attractive women in the focus of Jen<br />
Ray’s signature landscapes represent power and self-determination . The<br />
