Walasse Ting (1929-2010) was an accomplished painter, poet and publisher.

In 1957 Ting moved to New York City. He would become a close friend of . It is easy to see the influence of both artists' on the other's work. 

In the 1970's his work became increasingly figurative and was influenced by traditional Chinese painting methods. His aesthetic, highly stylized and dedicated to exuberant pastels and jewel tones, is instantly recognized for its combination of Chinese stylings and expressionism.
