The creative career of Chinese-American artist Walasse Ting could be said to have matured during the 1970s. By that time, he had already lived in New York for more than a decade. He experienced the most exciting periods of modern American art history, including the rise of abstract expressionism and pop art. While immersing himself in the New York art scene, Ting befriended Andy Warhol and Tom Wesselmann, and Roy Lichtenstein lived just next door to him.

Ting's early paintings are abstract. He did not start focusing on the human figure until the seventies. "I Bring You Lots, Lots of Flowers", painted in 1976, is one of Ting's classic works on the theme of the female nude. In the painting, the woman with her chest bared looks shapely and graceful. Her face is fair-skinned and heavily made up, yet she reveals a sullen expression of melancholy. With her eyes only slightly opened, she averts her gaze from the viewer. The woman rests on her side, occupying more than half of the canvas, and holds a basket of flowers in her arm while being surrounded by colorfull fresh flowers at the same time. The alluring beauty of the woman and the lavish flowers around her seem to complement each other in a scintillating infinity that enraptures the viewer.

Ting draws inspiration for the majority of his work from women, and his unabashed love for them is certainly no secret. Coquettish women are often the main subjects of his paintings. To him, flowers and women are inseparable. He once said, "Every time I see a beautiful woman, I think of vivid, fresh flowers. The beauty of fresh flowers allows me to love. They invigorate me." Ting's paintings are awash in delectable erotic imagery and deliver a strong visual impact that ignites a sensual array of pleasure and delight in the viewer. This kind of style is rarely seen among works of Chinese painters and reflects a type of open Western ethos and culture.

Walasse Ting was born in China in 1929. He lived in Hong Kong and Paris, and, during the later years of his life, in New York and Amsterdam. He died of illness in 2010 at the age of 80.
