Keyang Wu's artistic explorations are characterised by a classical style, with a particular emphasis on the texture of the sculpted figure - a hallmark of his early ‘sculpture and casting’ works. However, through his natural ability to imbue these classical forms with a sense of transcendence, he has distinguished himself in the field of contemporary art.

On his way to winning Chinese and international acclaim step by step, Wu Keyang has contributed a series of notable landmark works to the world ...... including some of his representative works being included by the General Administration of Postal Service of China in the 2016 Chinese Contemporary Oil Painting Masterpieces Collector's Postal Album.

In 2023, Keyang Wu held a solo exhibition at the Palazzo Pisani in Venice, Italy, becoming the first Chinese artist to hold a solo exhibition there in a century.

The core of Keyang Wu's artistic philosophy is the fusion of his exploration of Eastern philosophy and Western artistic techniques. Through his travels in Europe since 2009, his immersive experiences in Chinese historical and cultural sites, and his insights and analyses of different spatial and temporal dimensions, he has developed a deep understanding of the mysteries of the universe and the nature of existence from the artist's perspective. 2015's serious illness and several life-and-death tests became the turning point of Wu Keyang's painting career, and his near-death experiences brought him a more profound and unique insight into life and inspiration for his artistic creations. The near-death experience brought him a deeper and more unique understanding of life and inspiration for artistic creation.

Keyang Wu's works, the series ‘Body Sense’, ‘Mouth Sense’, ‘Consciousness’, ‘Collection’ and ‘Illusory Space’, created with the idea of ‘Oriental Spiritual Painting’ as the main theme, contain deep introspection, all of which are his profound reflections on life, nature and the universe. Every brushstroke he creates is filled with cosmic energy, transcending the boundaries of traditional art and providing viewers with glimpses into the unspeakable depths of existence.

With the opening of a five-year solo exhibition touring Europe, Keyang Wu's artistic exploration will continue to attract a global audience. Through his unique artistic expression of hyper-imaginism, Wu Keyang has not only established himself as an outstanding artist, but has also left an indelible mark on the collective consciousness of the art world, laying the groundwork for the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures and artistic innovation. ......
