Additional Details: This vibrant composition by Walasse Ting exemplifies the artist’s signature fusion of Eastern brushwork and Western modernist color. Known for his spontaneous, lyrical style, Ting creates here a dynamic aquatic scene in which brightly colored fish glide effortlessly through a fluid, abstracted environment. Rendered in expressive washes of color—ranging from luminous yellows and soft pinks to deep greens and blues—the composition conveys both movement and serenity. Ting’s loose, calligraphic line work defines each fish with remarkable economy, allowing gesture and color to carry the emotional weight of the image. The surface feels alive, with layered tones suggesting reflections, currents, and the ephemeral nature of water. Published by Yves Rivière, this piece reflects the enduring appeal of Ting’s work during the late 20th century, when his prints and posters brought his distinctive visual language to a broader audience. Rooted in the pre-digital poster era, the print maintains a painterly quality that preserves the immediacy of the artist’s hand. A joyful and highly decorative work, ideal for collectors of modern Asian art, postwar prints, and expressive figurative abstraction. Framing available upon request.
