Woman with Cat

Signed with artist's seal (upper left)
Acrylic on paper

Unflinchingly bold and sensual, Woman with Cat is an exuberant nude by the celebrated contemporary Chinese-American painter Walasse Ting. The artist is best known for his nude depictions of women, characterized by provocative poses and electrifying color arrangements filtered through Ting's unique blend of Pop art and abstraction. Ting's deft handling of expressive strokes of neon color is clearly on display here, as well as his remarkable ability to create unforgettable, intensely powerful compositions.

Ting first explored his talent for art by painting on the sidewalks of his neighborhood in Shanghai as a child. He was primarily self-taught, but he studied at the Shanghai Art Academy for a time. He left China for Paris in 1952, where he fell under the influence of the avant-garde collective CoBrA, which espoused a spontaneous, expressive approach to painting inspired by the art of children. After a few years in Paris, Ting relocated to New York City where he drew inspiration from the works of the Abstract Expressionists and Pop artists, and in 1970 he was awarded the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship. Today, his works can be found in the Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others.
