+ OVERVIEW
Being romantic and carefree in nature, Walasse Ting chose to depict his works in the most attractive and colourful way. Such expressiveness highlights his character and, above all, his passion towards art. Colourful flowers, parrots, horses, cats and locusts were his favourite subjects. Despite naming himself as a Flower Thief, women have been his repeated subjects that intrigued the artist and the audience.
Blue Lady, Purple Lady was created in the 1990s, featuring two ladies on both sides. The colour of flowers, lips, hair and blue eyes characterise femininity of the women. The whole painting was filled with a joyous tone. With his exceptional talent, Walasse Ting pushed his creation forward with multicoloured subjects. This work reflects the sensual side of the artist and his standard of beauty. The variation of colours highlights the frivolous personality as he painted.
Life varies with different personalities and experiences. In his life, Walasse Ting surrounded himself with aesthetic beauty and the desire for beautiful things through the expression of colours. This work is a typical genre as all
his other works, as Ting represented his passion and sensuality, and his chant towards life on a canvas, so that this magic transcends sorrow in life.
