About this artwork
Digital print on aluminum of 3D modeled image.
This work is inspired by a 17th century painting by Rachel Ruysch, one of the only women among the foremost flower painters of the era, as well as one of the best. The method of printing on aluminum gives the image a smooth, mostly matte surface with diffuse reflectivity and saturated colors. It "reads" as a photograph, although its method of creation is entirely virtual - there is no "real" object or… camera, but there are "virtual" ones. The work arrives ready to hang, but could also be framed.

« My work explores how technology influences perception, experience, and expression. By creating fantastical worlds and objects, I reflect upon our own. »
Jessye McDowell is an artist based in the United States whose paintings have been exhibited nationally and in France. Fascinated by the affects of technology on humans, she creates representations of the “natural” world through entirely digital means, which include three-dimensional modeling and rendering. McDowell's distinctive landscapes and still lifes convey the "slipperiness between how real and object-like the images seem and the completely virtual method of their creation".
