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.
“缠”与“牵”这两个字可以总括起各种不同的人际关系与情感，陈洁培用图像的演译记述着曾出现在她的过往经历与梦幻中的缠与牵。
她表示，她的这系列作品的创作灵感来自她目睹一位友人的心碎过程，她随后的力搏及她那自始至终对生命追求的激情。
使用绳或线相互间的纠缠与牵连，陈洁培用她的油画描绘出沉淀在她内心的共鸣。她说她不是在寻觅一个解决方案，而只为要拥抱及颂赞缠与牵这两种情况，及它们能把人们结为一体的现象。
陈洁培生于上海，一九六五年已移居美国，并取得加州州立大学美术硕士学位。她曾在圣荷西市立学院与加州大学柏克莱分校任教美术。她的作品曾在美国及美国以外地区的博物馆及美术馆举办多次个展与参加联展，并被多家公共与私人机构购藏。
