Demetrius R. Bing

Demetrius Bing is a native of Charleston, SC, and has been working as a professional artist for the past five years, showcasing his work in numerous art shows across the Lowcountry.

His pieces display bold contrasts and splashes of color, merging together to convey layered messages that resonate far beyond the canvas.

Through each brushstroke, Bing releases unfiltered emotion, transforming personal struggle into visual storytelling. Rooted in his own lived experiences yet universally accessible, his work blends composition, symbolism, and vulnerability to spark dialogue about resilience and the human condition.
