Walasse Ting was an American-Chinese artist celebrated for his vibrant, fluorescent paintings of cats, erotic nudes, and flowers. Known for his dynamic use of color, he once remarked, “Paintings are my honey, colors are my flowers, and velocity is what’s required of a thief—he must paint as speedily as he draws a gun.” Ting's work embodies a playful yet bold approach to art, blending Eastern and Western influences.
