“Sea Splash” was created in 1961. This work is a perfect representation of the artist’s exploration and practice during those years. It serves as one of the rare paintings from Ting’s phase of abstract painting. The image seems as if it was created by arbitrarily splashing paint. The splash rays seem painted onto canvas by waving a knife instead of a brush. The viewer is provided with a flying, carefree and unrestrained visual impact. A stream of emotions hides an Eastern spirituality and a highly explosive force. The leaping stripes of red cover a large yellow patch, revealing the artist’s personality and whims. Verdant green strokes present the tension of life in full bloom between rough and smooth layers. The influence of abstract expressionism had a significant cultural impact on Walasse Ting, changing his forms of expression and technique. Such talent gives birth to a distinctive and outstanding art style.
