1. Material selection

From Traditional materials to Modern Materials With the continuous development of the modern art movement, the sculpture has also entered a more unfettered era. The development of the machine industry has opened up a new field for the application of sculpture materials, and a large number of metal processing means have been used. More than four-fifths of contemporary sculpture is made of metal. The reason for this phenomenon is not accidental, the progress of human civilization is largely due to the progress of metal processing methods. This gives metals great advantages — they can be cut, welded, cast, forged, ground, polished and rusted, bringing to full play the properties and aesthetic beauty of copper, iron, steel, and other materials. After the Second World War, as an important concept carrier of modern industrial civilization, the ready-made metal has gradually become the preferred material for stainless steel sculpture. This special metal material is not only the sculptor’s artistic creation of the media but also the carrier of the artist’s concept, reflecting the spiritual attributes of the people, giving stainless steel sculpture with greater shaping charm, reflecting the spiritual outlook of the current era.

2. Material status

Material language changes from passive to active. It should be said that when certain materials are selected by artists and put into an artistic context composed by themselves or with other materials, they become an artistic language. In traditional art, because people’s conceptual understanding of materials is still at the level of understanding the external form of materials, the speech ability of materials is not independent. Although some language factors can have a decisive effect on artists and their artistic creation. But it is actually subject to the artist himself, who passively becomes the spokesman of the artist’s thoughts and consciousness. We can see that bronze, a metal material often used in traditional sculpture, is a typical “endorsement” material. In most of the sculptures, it is only the means and tools to materialize the author’s ideology.
