Description
By studying powerful fluid movements of horses, the artist depicts with exceptional prowess a group of majestic steeds galloping in rhythmic motion, skillfully combining “Oriental and Western influences in oil showing depth and layering with a contemporary touch, while infusing elements of Chinese art in terms of brushstrokes, atmosphere, space and imagination of empty space, with a philosophy of simplicity.”
