Placement of the works in relation to architecture is crucial to all of Streichers work. In this there is a gesture toward the metaphysical fantasies of painters like Giorgio de Chirico or Rene Magritte. Streichers equestrian monument series has been inspired by classical sculpture, like the Elgin Marbles that once graced the Parthenon, or the ancient Chinese terracotta army of soldiers and horses of Shaanxi province.
