I've always been very taken by the fragility and ephemerality of certain compositions that I encounter on the streets, they are there, available and invisible to some but the moment I discover them, they are mine.
— HAN Bing
HAN Bing was born in China in 1986. She holds an MFA from Parsons The New School for Design, New York and Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing. She earned her BFA from Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing.
Han Bing’s peripatetic upbringing has left her particularly attuned to the ‘fragile, ephemeral compositions’ found within the urban landscape, such as the multi-layered peeled off posters often seen plastered on subway platforms, or the ubiquitous panels of forest green scaffolding. Roaming the city with her camera, the artist claims these precarious topographies as her own, which constitute the source material for the sweeping landscapes on view. The accidental street collages, and subsequently Han Bing’s paintings, are a resonant metaphor for the nature of the city, and the instability of place, itself.
Han Bing has exhibited widely across China and the United States. Recent solo exhibitions include ‘A Labile Boundary at Best’ at Antenna Space (Shanghai, 2020), and ‘territory to be tamed-------if not later then when’ at Night Gallery (Los Angeles, 2018). Selected group exhibitions include ‘Fifteen Painters’ at Andrew Kreps (New York, 2021), ‘Meditations in an Emergency’ at UCCA (Beijing, 2020), ‘Abstract! Minimalism to Now’ at Tilton Gallery (New York, 2020), ‘They Rise When Vernal Breezes Blow’ at Makeroom Gallery (Los Angeles, 2019), ‘The Crossing’ at Gallery Exit (Hong Kong, 2018).
