Ping Wang
Visual Arts Residency

Ping Wang is a Chinese mixed-media artist based in New York, working with ceramics, textiles, and digital media to explore themes such as identity, feminism, and cultural alienation. By deconstructing and distorting motifs of the human body and cultural symbols, she creates conceptual portals that bridge the unseen forces shaping both internal and external realities—emotions, memories, and cultural histories.

In her recent ceramic series, Subliminal Echoes, Ping integrated light, sound, and motion into sculptural forms to explore the state of being in-between, embodying a continuous process of manifestation and transformation. This experience expanded her creative approach beyond traditional mediums, inspiring her to develop more interactive, multi-sensory installations.

This residency is organized in collaboration with Brooklyn College. Since 2022, Pioneer Works has partnered with Brooklyn College to select one recent graduate from their MFA program, with the aim of supporting an intergenerational cohort of emerging artists who demonstrate artistic excellence in work outside existing models and norms of their fields.
