Artist Statement
French artist and sculptor, Jean Dubuffet, put it this way, “For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity.”
His idealistic approach to aesthetics embraced so-called "low art". Also, he firmly refrains from traditional standards of beauty in favour of what he believed to be a more
authentic approach to image-making. To many, this is insane. But to him, "insanity is super sanity". This is a triptych depicting fractured sanity perceived by the artist
Peisy.
As a relentless innovator, the artist Peisy has been experimenting with unorthodox tools and materials to express her visions. Indeed, the globalisation of the art world
has led to a rapid increase of social media's influence on the tastes of art buyers. To survive, how many can afford to go through the rebellious attitude toward prevailing
notions of high culture, beauty, and good taste?

Artist Profile
Hometown: Penang
Based in: Kuala Lumpur
Although she grew up in an artistic environment, Kuala Lumpur-based Peisy Ting did not set out to be an artist, but a lingering affection for art and design have led her to Birmingham City University, UK where she graduated with a degree in Visual Communications in 1999. Upon her return to Malaysia, she then spent more than a decade and a half as an art director in advertising before taking a heartfelt leap to pursue her hidden passion to paint.
Having been raised in a vibrant multi-ethnic Asian culture, Peisy conflates her upbringing with a broad and worldly perspective that she seeks to capture through her contemporary abstract paintings. Sights and sounds from her daily life infuse her subconscious with the intent to blend and flow articulating visions through her brush as she translates these experiential emotions into physical forms. Her art challenges the viewers' perceptual parameters, providing them with a multilayered visual experience and establishing a connection on both an emotional as well as intellectual level.
As a self-taught artist, Peisy seeks to effectively elicit a visceral sensory experience from the observer with simple and bold compositions infused with a raw rebellious edge. Her work is in a continuous state of evolution and she looks to her past experiences as well as heritage as a preamble to her future creations.
