The most outstanding characteristic of Ting's art is his depiction of beautiful animals, flowers, and belles in nature using bright, lively, and vivid colors. His enchanting and magic world is a feast for the senses and invites the audience to share his passion and enthusiasm for nature.

In Paris, Walasse Ting befriended Pierre Alechinsky and Karel Appel of the CoBrA art group, and his painting style was deeply influenced by them. Soon he found that New York had replaced Paris as the gathering place for important painters. So he packed up and, at the peak moment of abstract expressionism in 1959, returned to New York, where he soon befriended Sam Francis, Tom Wesselmann, and Claes Oldenburg. They met frequently and held exhibitions together. Walasse Ting and Sam Francis became life-long friends.

The distinctiveness of Walasse Ting’s work lies in his ability to synthesize and transform the Traditional Chinese polychrome ink traditions and Western popular culture such as Pop art and Expressionism. Although the exuberantly fluorescent bright colors are decidedly Western in nature, while the composition of lines and impressions retained essence derived from calligraphic techniques rooted in Eastern traditions. Similar examples of Ting’s works are presently residing in various renounce Museums worldwide, such as Moma, the Chicago Art Institute and the Sikeborg Museum in Denmark among a few. Walasse Ting’s work are truly magnificent pieces of art infused with an appreciation for the sensory pleasures of the purity found in nature.
