Description

Walasse Ting: Parrot Jungle by Walasse Ting and Ariella Wolens is a comprehensive exploration of the artist's life and work. This book delves into the extraordinary world of Walasse Ting, whose unique fusion of Chinese art and French avant-garde spirit has been hailed as one of the most radical and independent figures of his time. Ting's oeuvre is characterized by vibrant depictions of female figures with rainbow-colored flesh, surrounded by a menagerie of animals and lush flora. The book provides an immersive look into Ting's world, where transnational identity and diasporic life are woven together to create a defiantly independent spirit. By examining the artist's work beyond his most famous collection, 1¢ Life, this publication offers a fresh perspective on Ting's abundant oeuvre. Through Walasse Ting: Parrot Jungle, readers gain insight into the artist's experiences as a global pioneer, whose work defies traditional categorizations and historical narratives. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the life and art of one of the most innovative figures of the 20th century.
