Tangles and Ties are all about the many dances in life. American-Chinese artist Mimi Chen Ting laid down on canvases the pictorial road maps of the tangles and ties of her past experiences, dreams and imaginations.
She said the ideas of this series began when she witnessed the progress of a friend's heartbreak, her subsequent struggles and unyielding passion for life. The interactions of the cords and strings in her paintings have become metaphors to express many of her inner resonances. "I am not seeking for a resolution, only to embrace and honour the bonds that make us one."
Born in Shanghai, Chen Ting moved to the United States in 1965. She has a Master's Degree in Art from the California State University and has taught art at the San Jose City College and the University of California in Berkeley.
"I am like an irrepressible child, capable of boundless possibilities, when I enter my studio. I thrill at the process of making marks and I relish the meandering that my medium proffers," she stated.
Her works has been in numerous solo and group exhibitions in museum and galleries in the United States and abroad. Her paintings are in the collections of many public institutes and corporations such as Harwood Museum, International Miniature Museum of Contemporary Art, University of Phoenix, Stanford University Hospital, AT &T, Advance Micro Device, and Xerox Corporation.
Art Beatus Gallery is located on the ground floor of 35-39 Graham Street, Central, near the junction with Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace (SOHO Area).
