Alisan Fine Arts
Until 14 May
In its 10th solo exhibition of works by renowned artist Walasse Ting, Alisan Fine Arts presents a retrospective show with appeal to art connoisseurs young and old.
The show features paintings with Ting's signature female figures, such as Odalisque III (above), rendered in bold colours as well as in black and white. Significant for several reasons, it's the first exhibition of Ting's paintings in Hong Kong in five years. Since suffering a major illness several years ago, the once prolific artist no longer paints.
Gallery owner Alice King has been showing Ting's work since 1986. Despite his illness, King says that Ting still has a lust for life.
'When we go to lunch he orders everything. Unfortunately, he probably will not produce any more works in his lifetime, but we want people to remember that he and his works are still around,' she says. 'These past few years, many have asked about him. So we decided to put a show together of the works.'
