Expressive Kitties Emerge from Energetic Graphite Lines in Drawings by ShouXin

September 18, 2025
Kate Mothes

From simple yet deft strokes of graphite, ShouXin summons cats that jump, roll, crash, and express their curiosity. Detailed eyes, mouths, and noses complement the artist’s gestural use of pencil for the rest of the felines’ bodies, conveying energy, sounds, and plenty of cattitude through the fundamental use of line.

Prints and occasionally originals are available for purchase in ShouXin’s online shop, and you can follow updates on Instagram.
