Abstract

As humanistic exchanges between China and Africa continue to deepen, African art has become more widespread in China, providing inspiration for artists' creations in particular. Wang Keping was one of the earliest artists to be influenced by African art, drawing on the qualities and spirit of African art and combining it with traditional Chinese culture and personal concepts to form his own unique style, expanding the diversity of China's early artistic styles while promoting artistic exchanges between China and Africa.
