隨著現代藝術運動的不斷發展，雕塑也進入了一個更加無拘無束的時代。機器大工業的發展為雕塑的材料應用開拓了新的領域，大量的金屬加工手段被運用。
With the continuous development of modern art movement, sculpture has entered a more unrestrained era. The development of machine industry has opened up a new field for the application of sculpture materials, and a large number of metal processing methods have been used.
當代雕塑中有五分之四以上的作品是以金屬為材料的。造成這種現象的原因并不是偶然的，人類的文明進程很大程度上歸功于金屬材料加工手段的進步，這使得金屬具有極大的優越性——能夠切割、焊接、鑄造、鍛打，也可以打磨、拋光以及上銹，能夠將銅、鐵、鋼等各種材料的性能和材質的美感得到充分的發揮。
More than four fifths of contemporary sculptures are made of metal. The reason for this phenomenon is not accidental. The progress of human civilization is largely attributed to the progress of metal material processing methods, which makes metal have great advantages - it can cut, weld, cast, forge, grind, polish and rust. It can give full play to the performance of copper, iron, steel and other materials and the aesthetic feeling of materials.
第二次世界大戰以后，作為現代工業文明重要觀念載體的金屬現成品逐漸成為不銹鋼雕塑的材料，這種特別的金屬材料已經不僅僅是雕塑家藝術創作的媒介，而成為藝術家觀念的載體，反映了人的精神屬性，賦予不銹鋼雕塑以更大的塑造魅力，體現當今時代的精神面貌。
After the Second World War, as an important concept carrier of modern industrial civilization, metal ready-made products have gradually become the preferred material for stainless steel sculpture. This special metal material is not only the medium of sculptors' artistic creation, but also the carrier of artist's concept, reflecting the spiritual attribute of human beings, endowing stainless steel sculpture with greater molding charm and reflecting the contemporary era Mental outlook.
