When Kandinsky Met Wu Guanzhong: Ai-Fused Eastern and Western Arts

Abstract This paper demonstrates the fusion of Kandinsky’s and Wu Guanzhong’s styles using AI, yielding Eastern and Western point-line-plane aesthetics. The authors present a method for blending diverse styles using Stable Diffusion and LoRA and subsequently apply the synthesized hybrid aesthetics in design. The optimized LoRA training workflow enhances the quality and controllability of generated images. The authors enable efficient generation of high-quality artistic images and concept designs through seamless interpolation of trained LoRA model of artists’ styles. This approach exhibits considerable controllability and scalability, serving as a valuable aid in the creative endeavors of artists and designers.
