Eli Ping (b. 1977, Chicago, USA) is a sculptor and painter whose practice explores how objects embody their own becoming. Working across series such as Motes, Monocarps, and his shaped canvas paintings, Ping engages processes of folding, cutting, and transformation to open up spatial and temporal dimensions within solid matter. His recent floor-standing bronze works bypass traditional casting techniques in favor of a direct burnout process, resulting in calligraphic, totemic forms that blur the line between fragility and force.
Guided by a meditative attention to balance, proportion, and material resonance, Ping’s work draws from the sensuous abstraction of artists like Sam Gilliam and John Chamberlain, while echoing the modernist clarity of Brancusi and Giacometti. Across media, he constructs a visual language of tension and stillness, inviting viewers into a philosophical encounter with matter, form, and perception.
