The beauty of the motion of galloping horses is conveyed in an expressionist manner, filled with intense colours of red, yellow and brown hues. Lim Ah Cheng's paintings are characterised by the freeing brushstrokes, rhythmic lines, and intense colours. The overall effect is enchanting and full of grandeur.
