As a modern artist, Li Hsi-chi is not only known by everyone in painting circles in Taiwan, he has been invited for shows to the US, Germany, and Spain, and the Kinmen fine arts museum was nearly named after him (in the end it wasn't because this honor is reserved for already deceased persons).
提起現代畫家李錫奇，不但台灣畫壇無人不知，美國、德國、西班牙都有當地人邀展，金門的美術館還差點以他命名。
