Ziping Wang
Ziping Wang was born in 1995, in Shenyang, China, where she currently lives and works. She holds an MFA from the Pratt Institute, New York, and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design.
Drawing on the visual languages of advertising and illustration, Ziping Wang’s paintings are inspired by the overwhelming experience of living within an attention economy in the digital era. Visually seductive food packaging often serves as the starting point for Wang’s colorful configurations that combine a wide array of references and styles, ranging from cartoonish renderings of food, traditional Chinese and Japanese decorative motifs, Old Master still-lifes, geometrically patterned forms, and amorphous blobs of varying opacity. Wang’s paintings offer the mirage of a narrative, of a space in which dissociative fragments cohere, yet resist any further extraction of meaning. Paintings as decoys, that talk about something without talking about it, or by talking about something else. The subtext of Wang’s compositions, however, remain as unknowable to the viewer as the black box of the algorithmic machine.
