FLOWERS
by: Walasse Ting
from Vintage Hotels
Flowers, an original artwork by celebrated artist Walasse Ting, features vivid multicolour florals, a stand-out in the Pillar and Post’s lobby.
Walasse Ting was a Chinese-American painter, graphic artist, sculptor and poet. Ting’s unforgettable paintings “fuse dancing brushstrokes with vivacious neon colours. His subjects are joyful: parrots, flowers, cats and beautiful women in bright pinks, oranges, blues and greens.” (source, Catto Gallery).
Ting is an internationally renowned artist whose work can be found in permanent international collections such as the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tate Modern Museum in London, Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
More of Ting’s works can be found in the Upper Spa and at our sister hotels, Queen’s Landing and Prince of Wales.
