By the 1970s, Ting has gathered a tremendous creative energy having spent more than ten years in New York. While his artistic style changed from abstract to figurative paintings, “women” was always his favorite topic where he spent most of his energy. While living in New York, Ting began to develop a style which the strokes were strong and wild, the colors vibrant, proud, and unconventional, an approach reflecting Ting’s character. One cannot deny that the city itself, free, innovative, and blooming with culture, also took part in shaping Ting’s unique style. During the 1970s, as his focus transformed from abstract to figurative paintings, his state of mind also began to change. He spent large amounts of time painting “women”, his favorite topic. During this period, the lines in his works demonstrated similar styles from Fauvism. In actuality, during his early days in Europe, the CoBrA artists already provided Ting with the inspirations for a similar style. With an overall exaggerated tone, the female figures on Ting’s canvas are sometimes graceful, sometimes passionate, but always charming. During this period, Ting no longer cared about artistic forms. Instead, he focused on his instinctive senses of colors and romanticism. The contrasting colors portrayed an emotional world full of “women”, expressing the love and affection overflowing from Ting’s heart. Whether it’s love or affection, it is all a part of Ting’s soul. Some say his works are erotic, perhaps the affections were Ting’s main source of inspiration and life force, and the vibrant colors within his paintings were erotic in nature. The colors were his blood and flesh, and it is through these splendid colors that made Ting feel alive.
