Sarah Ippolito Artist Talk

Sarah Ippolito is a Los Angeles based artist working in sculpture, installation, and drawing. Informed by time spent underwater as a scuba diver, her work explores ocean biodiversity, the sensory world of nonhuman organisms, and our shared connection to water. Through vibrant color, evocative texture, and magnified scale, her biomorphic sculptures invite contemplation of the vast liquid realm that defines our planet. Ippolito received a BFA in Sculpture from the University of Houston (2010) and an MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2012). Ippolito has presented solo exhibitions at Various Small Fires, Los Angeles, CA (2024); Not There Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2023); the A+D Museum, Los Angeles, CA (2019); and Adjunct Positions, Los Angeles, CA (2014). Recent group exhibitions include Massey Klein Gallery, New York, NY (2024); Forest Lawn Museum, Glendale, CA (2023); La Loma Projects, Los Angeles, CA (2023); the Future Perfect, Los Angeles, CA (2019); the Center for the Arts Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, CA (2014). She is the recipient of the Henrik Vibskov P:I:G Award (2023); and the A+D Museum Alley Fellowship (2019).
