The artwork, titled “Still Waiting For You,” was created by Walasse Ting in 1995. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) and Pop Art movements, categorized specifically as a nude painting (nu).
In the artwork, the artist utilizes vibrant, intense colors to depict a reclining female figure amidst a rich background of lush, vividly colored flowers. The subject’s figure is rendered with simplified, almost abstract forms and a smooth, flowing contour. The composition is imbued with a dreamlike quality, achieved through Ting’s use of bold, expressive brushstrokes and a seemingly spontaneous application of color. The juxtaposition of the human form and the dense floral motif evokes a sense of harmony and sensuality. The overall mood of the artwork is both lively and contemplative, capturing the anticipation suggested by the title.
