with heightened color, dramatic compositions and a multiplicity of
visual textures, Mae Jeon creates computer manipulated images
whose subject matter is an icon of organic beauty - the flower.
Surreal and stylish, Jeon’s images incorporate the sensuality of the
flower, as captured by such artists as georgia O’keefe and Imogen
Cunningham, into fantastical abstractions within whimsically
synthetic environments. In contrasting the naturalness of her subject
matter with the highly digital medium used in its depiction, Jeon calls
attention to the eternal question of the real vs. the unreal, and of
the complex relationship of technology with nature. In an incipiently
digital world, Jeon’s appreciation of the colorful floral splendor
found in wildlife through a technological language is contemporarily
appropriate. Artispectrum vol. 13. 2004.
