Ziping Wang is an artist currently living and working in Shenyang, China. She holds an MFA from the Pratt Institute and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design.
Ziping cultivates an intensely graphic visual field creating fragmented and immersive reflections of our information-saturated world. She is particularly interested in the deceptive nature of image modification. She transforms popular symbols to build a distinct visual code based on transcultural markers and collective memory. Drawing inspiration from activist codes and internet slang, her metaphor-based cryptology unpicks the ambiguity between reality and our constructed online worlds. Her collage-like works embody a maximalist abundance whilst also containing a flatness that reflects the single dimension of the virtual experience.
In 2023, Ziping created ‘Sweet Tooth’ handbag, one of the five artistic collaborations in the fifth edition of the Artycapucines Collection by Louis Vuitton. Her works are in the collections of the ICA Miami, Zhuzhong Art Museum, Beijing, X Museum, Beijing, K11 Art Foundation, Hong Kong and Le Consortium, Dijon, France.
