Still Waiting For You 1995

Walasse Ting created "Still Waiting For You" using vibrant watercolors. Notice how the light washes of pink and blue create a dreamlike, sensual atmosphere, while bold reds and greens add dynamic contrast. The composition features a reclining figure, intertwined with lush floral motifs. Ting challenges traditional form and perspective, flattening the picture plane and blending figure and ground. The painting is structured so that the interplay between abstraction and figuration destabilizes fixed meanings. The bright colors and simplified forms evoke a sense of playful eroticism, but also a melancholic reflection on desire and anticipation. This creates a visual language of both immediacy and depth. The interplay between figuration and abstraction in this artwork, invites us to reconsider the boundaries between representation and expression. It is not merely a visual experience but also a profound meditation on the complexities of human emotion.
