Eli Ping

Eli Ping (@eliping ) in Il Ratto di Europa, a group exhibition curated by Sarah Daoui (@sarahsadiadaoui ) & Vittoria di Savoia (@vittoria.disavoia ) at BKV, Via Fontana 16, Milan, Italy, April 18–24. Eli Ping is a New York–based artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, and assemblage, exploring material transformation, entropy, and the tension between organic and constructed forms. Working with industrial and everyday materials, his compositions emphasize accumulation, erosion, and structural instability, while remaining grounded in an inquiry into consciousness and perception. Titled Aphakic, the work in the exhibition takes its name from a condition of altered vision: a punctured eye that shifts perception beyond the visible. Drawing on and destabilizing the legacy of Minimalism and monochrome painting, Ping treats the surface not as a passive field but as a charged membrane, a lens through which perception is made self-aware. “I’m interested in how trauma changes consciousness, how it alters experience and the meanings one takes from them. The work expresses the desire and the sense of futility in the impulse to rend the veil between the objects of our experience and experience itself, to have experiences outside thought, meaning, or awareness, like an experience of pure viscera. Such experiences do occur and they’re frequently not enlightening. They’re traumatic.” Aphakic, 2025 Cast bronze 12 x 16 x 1 1/2 inches Images courtesy of the Artist and @bernheimgallery .

Chicago, IL) is invested in how objects function as phenomena, their forms documenting their own becoming. His canvas paintings encapsulate the approach by folding and unfolding, opening up a spatial dimension within solid matter. Ping lives and works in New York, USA. Eli Ping (n.

Eli Ping is one of sixteen contemporary artists whose work is on display as part of ‘Seven Heavenly Senses’ at The Al Thani Collection at the Hôtel de la Marine. Fascinated by ways in which form can display its own material memory, Ping’s sculpture practice revolves around with which the various media he chooses to work – variably, stretched canvas, resin, and cast bronze. His best-known series of ‘Motes’ and ‘Monocarp’ works are constructed from folded canvas that are ossified into a solid form using resin. He is interested in the drapery of the canvas and how the material responds to tension and gravity. Currently on view at The Al Thani Collection at the Hôtel de la Marine, ‘Seven Heavenly Senses’ is the first exhibition of contemporary art drawn from the Collection. Running until 5 October, and curated by art historian Olivier Berggruen, it presents a series of contemporary artworks alongside historical objects. The resulting juxtaposition invites visitors to explore notions of figuration, form, craft and memory through approximately forty works of art created across different time periods, cultures, and contexts. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Centre des monuments nationaux. @OlivierBerggruen @eliping #AlThaniCollection #7HeavenlySenses #Paris #HoteldelaMarine #exhibition #artexhibition #artinparis #patrimoine Photo credit is © Michel Oscar Monegro. © Eli Ping.

Hard Goods, a solo exhibition by Eli Ping is currently on view at Bernheim, London through June 20, 2025. Marking the artist’s UK debut, Hard Goods reimagines the history of sculpture through a bold new body of work that investigates materiality, form, and gesture. Eli Ping’s latest sculptures and paintings blend industrial rawness with tactile nuance — bronze, resin, wax, and oil transformed through experimental processes that challenge and expand traditional boundaries of medium. Dates: May 7, 2025 - June 21, 2025 Location: Bernheim Gallery, London 1 NEW BURLINGTON ST.
