Sarah Ippolito (b. 1986, Houston, TX) is a Los Angeles based artist working in sculpture, installation, and drawing. Ippolito’s project draws upon the biodiversity of the planet, the realm of science fiction, and the history of figurative art. Through vibrant color, evocative texture, and magnified scale- her biomorphic sculptures exude vitality and invite contemplation of what can be learned from the lives of non-human organisms. 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).
