BEAUTY

Beauty, is part of Queen’s Landing’s ‘Beauty Collection’ by Walasse Ting. The collection of original works is fluorescent and eye catching. Ting’s intentions are that the viewers stops and pauses when confronted with the painting, where they can then let their focus shift from the stresses of the day onto the beauty of the piece.

In Ting's original artworks of women, they are often surrounded by parrots, grasshoppers, cats, horses, flowers and fruit in neon colours and florescence.

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)
