Since the 1970s, his work has generally been described as a kind of "figuratism. He began exhibiting watercolors in a Hong Kong bookstore in the 1940s and moved to Paris shortly thereafter. After meeting the group COBRA, which included Asger Jorn, Karel Appel and Pierre Alechinsky, Ting gained a reputation as an abstract expressionist, using bold brushstrokes in his compositions. In the 1970s, Ting developed a calligraphic style in his use of acrylic paint. Often since this period, his work has depicted birds and fish, flowers and animals. He also often depicts sensual women. The titles of his pieces are strikingly simple, such as "Busy Bodies" or "Lady with Vase. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship Award for drawing in 1970. He taught himself to draw and paint, and his work can be found in the permanent collections of many art museums around the world, including Tate Modern in London and the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
