Ziping Wang (b. 1995, Shenyang) 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 and 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.

Recent solo and group exhibitions include ‘Chromatic Crumble!’, Château La Coste (Aix-en-Provence, 2025); 'small talk', Unit London (London, 2024), 'Boundless Reverie: Chinese Savoir Faire and Contemporary', K11 MUSEA (Hong Kong, 2024), 'Traces of Love and Timeless Adventure', Galerie Marguo at K11 MUSEA (Hong Kong, 2023), 'The Loudest Silence', Peres Project (Seoul, 2022); 'Obsession, Indifference and Onion Skin', Galerie Marguo (Paris, 2021). Wang was the recipient of the First Place prize of the 12th Annual Juried Exhibition at Archway Gallery (Houston, 2020). She recently created 'Sweet tooth' handbag, one of the five artistic collaborations in the 5th edition of the Artycapucines Collection by Louis Vuitton.
