Ink and color on paper
Curator
Luke Chapman
Ting’s approach balances chaos and calm, letting color and texture interact in a way that feels natural rather than forced. There are echoes of abstract expressionism here, but her touch is lighter, more attuned to atmosphere than pure gesture. The way the pigments bleed into one another suggests movement, change—nothing stays fixed. The piece carries a quiet optimism, a sense of renewal without overstating it. The light returns, as it always does, subtle at first, then undeniable.
Contemporary Chinese Ink Painting Shine Through the Darkness series (曙光乍現) Mediha Ting’s Dawn 2020 (曙光再現) is a study in transformation, capturing the quiet intensity of first light breaking through darkness. Layers of golden yellows, soft blues, and violets dissolve into each other, creating a sense of movement—like mist lifting, or the sky shifting before the sun fully rises. The fluidity of the pigments, streaked and splattered with controlled spontaneity, gives the piece an organic rhythm. Light doesn’t just illuminate; it pushes forward, dissolving the night in a way that feels both inevitable and deeply felt.
