The Formative Years of Bernice Bing
Born in San Francisco, United States, Bernice Bing was raised in a complex environment after her father's incarceration and her mother's death. Following her time in various foster homes and the Ming Quong Home in Oakland, she found a sense of connection through drawing. Her artistic journey led her to the California College of Arts and Crafts, where she studied painting, and later the California School of Fine Arts, where she earned both her B.F.A. and M.F.A.
During her studies, Bing was influenced by several instructors, most notably Saburo Hasegawa. Through Hasegawa, she was introduced to Zen Buddhism, traditional calligraphy, and Chinese philosophers such as Lao Tzu and Po Chu-i. This encounter prompted her to explore her identity as an Asian woman. Her early work often focused on this exploration of identity in contrast to dominant ideas of normalcy.
Artistic Evolution and Community Impact
Bing's practice was characterized by a bridge between East and West, utilizing calligraphy-inspired abstraction. Her career saw significant engagement with the San Francisco Bay Area art scene and the Beat generation. Notable milestones in her career include:
Beyond the canvas, Bing was a dedicated educator and activist. She co-founded the Scrounger Center for Reusable Art Parts (SCRAP) and served as the first executive director of the South of Market Cultural Center. Her later years were spent in Philo, California, where she continued her practice until her death from cancer.
