Ziping Wang China, b. 1995

Ziping Wang was born in 1995, in Shenyang, China. She holds an MFA from the Pratt Institute, New York, and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. In January 2022, Wang presents her first solo exhibition with Galerie Marguo. 

Drawing on the visual languages of advertising and illustration, Ziping Wang creates paintings and drawings inspired by the overwhelming experience of living within an attention economy in the digital era, in which we are relentlessly bombarded by pop-ups, banners, notifications, and endlessly refreshing feeds. 

Visually seductive packaging found while strolling the supermarket aisles often serves as the starting point for Wang’s saturated, colorful configurations that combine a wide array of pictorial 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.
