Ting (1929~)
New York and Amsterdam-based visual artist. His colorful paintings have attracted critical admiration and a popular following. Common subjects include nude women and cats, birds and other animals. He left China in 1946 and settled in Paris in 1952. Here he associated with artists such as Karel Appel, Asger Jorn, and Pierre Alechinsky, members of the avant-garde group, COBRA.In 1957 he moved to New York where his work was influenced by pop art and abstract expressionism. He began primarily as an abstract artist, but the bulk of his work since the mid-1970's has been described as popular figuratism, with broad areas of color painted with a Chinese brush and acrylic paint. As a poet as well as painter, he is the author of 13 books, and won the Guggenheim Fellowship Award (for Drawing) in 1970.His works are in the permanent collections of museums worldwide, including The Guggenheim Museum and MOMA in NY, the Chicago Art Institute, Tate in London, Centre Pompidou, Paris etc. He is sometimes referred to by his Chinese name Ding Xiongquan or Ting Hsiung-ch'uan. |
