Morning Series 1974

Walasse Ting created this vibrant painting, part of his Morning Series, using energetic strokes and a vivid palette. The splashes of color and dynamic composition evoke a sense of immediacy and spontaneity. These abstract forms invite us to consider the symbolism of color itself. We might recall Kandinsky's theories on color's psychological impact or even Goethe's exploration of color and emotion. Here, each hue pulses with its own energy, creating a complex interplay that mirrors the awakening of a new day. The lack of representational imagery invites a more direct, emotional engagement, much like the visceral response to the bold colors in Rothko's chapel. It's as if Ting tapped into a primal source, bypassing conscious interpretation to touch something deeper within us. We are reminded of the cyclical nature of time, where the past echoes in the present, and images are reborn in new forms.
