Galloping alone

The 73-year-old Chinese-American painter Dennis Hwang unveils his "Galloping Horse" exhibition for the upcoming Year of the Horse.

The exhibition shows horse canvases and small sculptures at 1788 E.A.T through February 16.

His paintings are filled with bold, free strokes, vivid colors, fragments and symbols.

He has been compared with Henri Matisse and painters of the Fauvist (wild beast) movement of the early 20th century, which emphasized color over realistic representation.

The texture of his paintings appears thick and coated as if with glue, resembling the surface of porcelain.

Hwang's horses are primarily composed of lines: few simple strokes depict gallant stallions and graceful mares.
