Ting's work exemplifies a contemporary approach to abstract painting, where gestural mark-making and chromatic exploration are employed to evoke a sense of natural phenomena. The artist's deliberate use of a butterfly motif serves as a point of departure for a broader investigation into the interplay between color, light, and form. "Purple Ambience" invites the viewer to contemplate the fleeting beauty of the natural world through the lens of abstraction, showcasing Ting's ability to transform simple materials into a visually compelling meditation on transformation and the ephemeral.
Mediha Ting's My Butterfly Series: "Purple Ambience" is an acrylic on canvas work characterized by dynamic brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette dominated by purples, golds, and various chromatic accents set against a dark ground. The composition features sweeping diagonal strokes of gold that intersect with diffused fields of purple, while smaller dabs of blue, green, and red paint punctuate the surface, contributing to a sense of texture and movement. In the lower register, a cluster of layered purple hues suggests the form of a butterfly, though rendered abstractly and implying a sense of metamorphosis rather than precise representation.
