Jen Ray lives and works in New York and Berlin.

Central to Jen Ray’s work are drawings where amazon-like women rule a phantasmatic world, figures moving across utopian landscapes and magic spaces. But manic obsessions and wanton perversion lurk behind this pretty surface of girlish innocence. Her drawings are defined by decadence as an extreme form of romanticism, just as well as a Baroque balance between the love of life and vanitas.

Jay Ray’s work refers to Guy Bordin’s fashion photography, which is characterized by eroticism, sex, and fantasies of violence. References to Rudolf Schlichter’s psychosexual drawings and Guido Crepax’ glamorous Justine comics can also be found. Often, the opulent, detail-obsessed works on paper, executed with a delicate use of line, are reminiscent of the glam-rock aesthetics of the 1970s. Insignia such as dressing up and masquerade, sexual transparency and transgression are of particular importance.
