[A link party about art issues hosted by
Nicole of DVArtist, Art, Food and Everyday Things]
This contemporary artist is an absolute master
of minimalism and the powerful use of negative space.
With just a few simple lines of graphite surrounding
detailed, expressive eyes, ShouXin creates dynamic
portraits which perfectly capture feline
character, moods, and physicality.

Thanks for sharing such beautiful portraits of cats...and they certainly are wonderfully done!
These essence of cats.
...I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!!!
She has made the expression and movement of the cats masterly 👏
These are great, thank you! Bold and fearless, gesture is everything! This is art to live by.
I adore those simple cat drawings. Simple but also not something everyone can accomplish.
I can't seem to join SITAR today. It is strange.
@ Gene Black -- Yes, there's some kind of problem on Nicole's blog. I'm sure she'll fix it later today once she's aware of it.
These are absolutely fabulous. What an amazing artist. And they somehow remind me of a thing a guitar player friend of mine said which was that it's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play.
OMG ... I love ❤️ all of these and there is no question as to what they are! They are beautiful!
These are so wonderful, Debra.
WOW!!! That's amazing. How can anyone create such drawings with so few pencil lines? As a person who can barely draw a stick figure I am blown away. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I'm kind of speechless on this art. It is fabulous. Thank you for sharing. I think I have the blog fixed now. Not sure what was happening but please try to link up again.
Incredible line art! I'm very familiar with those cat movements ^^
Hello Debra, Shou Xin's cats are a lot of fun. His technique of indicating the body with striped lines reminds me of those Palatnik cats (and other animals) you see every so often:

Also, his minimizing the body except for the facial features reminds me of that famous photo of Audrey Hepburn:
