Ting Shao Kuang (B. 1939) "Pensive Seated Woman" 1989 Cold painted bronze sculpture; signed in casting, stamped "15/250 [copyright symbol] Segal Fine Art 1989" Dimensions: 16 1/2 x 15 1/4 in. (41.9 x 38.7 cm.) Ting Shao Kuang was born in 1939, in Chenggu, a small village located in the Northern province of Shanxi, China. His earliest childhood was marked by the horrors of the Sino-Japanese war that destroyed his land and left him abandoned after the evacuation of his parents to Taiwan.

After graduation in 1962, Kuang obtained a position to teach at the Yunnan Art Institute in Kunming. Painting the unacceptable abstract paintings during the night, he would destroy every piece of them in the morning, fearing of the arrestment of the authorities of the country.
