Abstract: 114 undergraduates were recruited to complete the Mittenecker Pointing Test, Embedded Figure Test and the collage design as the measure of cognitive inhibition, cognitive style and artistic creativity respectively. The results showed that (1) Cognitive inhibition showed significant negative relationship with artistic creativity and it can predict individuals' creativity, communicative level and general impression significantly, likeability and imagination marginally significantly. (2) Cognitive style moderated the relationship between cognitive inhibition and artistic creativity, which showed that cognitive inhibition predicted creativity, imagination and communicative level of individuals who were inclined to field independence, whereas it can't predict artistic creativity of those inclined to field dependence.

Key words: cognitive inhibition, artistic creativity, cognitive style, the moderating effect
