About Mary L. Peng
Based in Boston, US, Mary L. Peng is a self-taught multi-media artist, spanning digital art, collage, painting, mixed-media installation, and photography. Having been exhibited in 50+ galleries, museums, and institutions worldwide, including the USA, Belgium, the UK, France, Amsterdam, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Germany, and Gabon, and selected as a featured artist by Photoshop, Adobe Creative Cloud, and prestigious institutions such as Yale Schwarzman Center, the Masonic Temple and Museum, and New Britain Museum of American Art, Peng’s oeuvre delves into the intricate links between the human body and psyche, reality, perception, and nature. Blending visual elements as organic living forms, Peng’s work oscillates between outright exploration of visceral aesthetics and the probing of philosophical concepts on constructionism and connectedness. Peng's creations are united by the motif of "merging", utilizing organic forms to create ethereality and an impression of oneness from chaos and manifest the mind-body-nature interconnection. Peng sets out to capture the contradiction and harmony of human existence by exploring the ever-evolving dynamic between material and transcendental realities.
