Peisy Ting
F
or Peisy Ting the overarching objective of her paintings is to give personal emotions a tangible form, using her artworks as a universal language and celebration of humanity. A constant evolution of her practice has seen her creating a body of compelling and soul-stirring pieces of contemporary art. Through the use of colour, textural-play and structural form the artist blurs the lines of social conformity with bold strokes that cut through geometric blocks of colour with dramatic, jagged lines, evoking a visceral range of contrasting emotions: strength and vulnerability, joy and sorrow, conflict and peace.
Early 2016 saw Ting taking the step to exit her career as a creative director and devote her time to developing her first series of contemporary works. Since then she has had work published both online and in print, and has exhibited work as part of a group exhibition ‘Color’ at CICA Museum of Contemporary Art, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. peisyting.com peisyting@gmail.com
