Wang Yi
Before exploring Wang Yi’s more diverse creative direction, it is necessary to take a look back, at least in terms of his creative genealogy. Even before the present appearance of his work, Wang Yi’s own creation had a clear line of sight, and it can even be said that the entire evolution of Wang Yi’s work can be considered, to some extent, as a reference for the development of abstract art.
