Walasse Ting, born in
Shanghai, is a self-taught painter, sculptor, graphic artist and
poet. Leaving China in 1949 to travel, he reached Paris in 1953
and became acquainted with artists Karel Appel, Asger Jorn and
Pierre Alechinsky, members of the avant-garde group known as
COBRA. Since 1963, he has lived in New York. Ting works in a
variety of styles ranging from pure non-objectivity, as in
Spring Sunshine, to figurative works portraying both people
and animals.
