Collection: Walasse Ting   1929 - 2010 

Ting worked as a painter, sculptor, graphic artist and poet. Born in Wuxi, China, he left in 1949; lived in Paris from 1952 until 1957 where he associated with the avante garde CoBrA group. He subsequently moved to the USA and settled in New York. As an artist, his work was influenced by Pop Art and abstract impressionism, becoming more figurative from the mid 1970s.

Fresh, vibrant and splendid colour characterises Ting's descriptions of women, flowers, birds and animals. He creates his own personal magical world full of fun and exuberance.
