I Love Chrysanthemums 2000

Walasse Ting made "I Love Chrysanthemums" with paint, and you can tell he just went for it! The brushstrokes are so free, and the colors are singing. It’s like he’s not just painting flowers, but the feeling of loving flowers. Look closely at the way he's built up the texture. It's juicy, right? The paint isn’t shy. And those little dots and dashes, they’re like confetti, throwing a party on the canvas. Each mark feels like a burst of energy. And I mean, what’s not to love? It’s like a garden exploded, and we get to walk through it. Ting reminds me a bit of Joan Mitchell, in that both artists can take something as simple as a flower and turn it into a whole world of feeling. His work isn’t about perfection; it's about letting go.
