DURAN FRI 11/10 ▼ FORT LAUDERDALE SPREAD YOUR WINGS “Walasse Ting: Parrot Jungle” at NSU Art Mu- seum is a vibrant retrospective of Ting’s re- markable artistic legacy. The late painter, a maverick who blended Chinese aesthetics, Eu- ropean avant-garde, and American pop art, is celebrated beyond his iconic 1¢ Life. The exhi- bition immerses visitors in Ting’s neon-infused world, with alluring women, wildlife, and vivid motifs, while also shedding light on his fasci- nating global journey. South Florida, where Ting felt at home, plays a central role, inspired by his frequent visits and a special connection to the Parrot Jungle wildlife park (now Jungle Island). The exhibition harmoniously connects Ting’s work with the museum’s CoBrA (Co- penhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam) collec- tion, underlining his role as a global artist. 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through March 12, 2024, at NSU Art Museum, 1 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lau- derdale; 954-525-5500; nsuartmuseum.org. Tick- ets cost $5 to $16; free for museum members and children 12 and under.
