Xiaochuan Li’s Chinese freehand horse paintings were much influenced by Beihong Xu’s (a modern famous Chinese artist) classical elegance as well as by Boshu Liu’s (a contemporary famous Chinese artist) carefree and creative style with brushes. By combining both western drawings and traditional Chinese paintings in his freehand drawings, Xiaochuan Li is good at creating his own unique way of moving brushes with ink and water, while subtly or “coincidently” splitting or mixing the two, either in thick or thin ink, either with dry or wet ink, to present the most friendly, adorable, and mighty figures and shapes as well as movements of the handsome horses. The art or tact of “merging” ink and color and water with brushes to either concretely or abstractly describe the horses on the rice paper is wholly up to Xiaochuan Li’s individual imagination and aesthetic understanding about horses thereby. Xiaochuan Li’s horse paintings are telling us that animals like horses are human beings’ good friends forever by nature. Perhaps that is why viewers are very much attracted by Xiaochuan Li’s art works.

"My work is inspired by patterns in nature and the decorative arts. My paintings are often placed to be part of an interior design. I love to explore how the mood of a room can be changed by the colours, textures and patterns in a painting - and I am forever looking for reference and inspiration in the natural world."
