Walasse Ting (丁雄泉)

Nico Delaive & Walasse Ting 

​

Nico Delaive, the owner of Gallery Delaive, crossed paths with Walasse Ting at the Unlimited art fair in Amsterdam, where Ting was signing his prints. While Nico was waiting to have his print signed, he approached Ting and expressed his interest in acquiring artworks on rice paper. Ting graciously agreed to Nico's request to purchase his art, and from that moment on, their relationship evolved beyond mere business partners to genuine friends, with Nico becoming a frequent visitor to Ting's studio.

So what started as a chance encounter soon blossomed into a close bond, with Delaive becoming Ting's trusted partner in the art world. Over time, Delaive amassed a treasure trove of Ting's distinctive works, featuring lively acrylic paintings on rice paper depicting women surrounded by a menagerie of creatures like parrots, grasshoppers, cats, and more.

To this day, Gallery Delaive proudly represents Walasse Ting, showcasing his vibrant and whimsical creations to art lovers everywhere. Through Delaive's continued efforts, Ting's colorful and captivating artworks find new homes and continue to delight audiences, ensuring that Ting's playful spirit lives on for generations to come.
