Walasse Ting

Walasse Ting was a Chinese-born American artist and poet known for his vibrant, expressive paintings that blend elements of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. After leaving China in the 1950s, he lived in Paris before settling in New York, where he became associated with artists such as Karel Appel and Sam Francis. Ting’s work is characterized by bold colors, fluid brushwork, and recurring motifs of female figures, flowers, and animals. His distinctive style and cross-cultural influences have secured his place in postwar international art.
