Public art can't be separated from two kinds of guarantees. First, from the theme of the work and the theme value, we should emphasize the public spirit. We should pay attention to the association with the urban population to maximize the involvement in the real society. Second, the creation of this art. It is not only the individual work of the artist, but also the brain project of power, but a whole society to participate in. For example, some countries with successful experience in public art will produce hearings on art such as city sculpture. The session will be systematically demonstrated and the public discourse power will be involved.


However, in China, the city sculpture is too far away from the real life, and it is too far away from the public feelings. The statues built in some cities, the low level of art, are shocking. For example, the landmark building "Central Plains Fota" square In the past, a "pig statue" was slandered by netizens as "rogue pigs". Such suspected erotic city sculptures have appeared in many cities, and no artistic aesthetics can be seen at all, let alone the spirit of public culture. The art is low, and the city statues are still far from reality, and they are a kind of flower shelf project.


China's city sculptures are sorry for this special country and special era. China's countless cities have experienced the turmoil of history and reality. They can give the value of human existence to too many people and events, such as freedom. Justice, however, our city sculptures are vulgar to the point of attracting the public's attention with eroticism, and even fall into the fictional situation to meet the needs of the tourism economy. What is the sadness and ridiculousness of stainless steel sculpture, this has no public aesthetics and The emergence of urban sculptures with public feelings is not only the tragedy of art, but also the tragedy of public management. It also reflects the embarrassment of citizens' right to speak from one aspect.


Of course, publicity is not simply to cater to the public, or even to use the form of vulgarity and kitsch. The artistic publicity of the city sculpture cannot be like the small IQ of Zhao Benshan in the CCTV Spring Evening to ridicule other people's low IQ, nor can it be like Xiao Shenyang. Some of the actors in the Northeast are so boring and boring that many people can sneer. This publicity, the most fundamental manifestation is still based on the expression of public values. The key to this public expression lies in the creation of civic spirit and public responsibility. The transmission, as well as the public feelings, these spirits, feelings and responsibilities, in the end, should be beneficial to the survival and development of people, is truly people-oriented, with humanistic feelings.


This means that to realize the publicity of the city sculpture, to provide public aesthetics, and to express the public spirit, we must not make the city sculpture a proverb of an individual art, nor can it become a driving tool for simply realizing the tourism economy, and it cannot become a driving tool. The power of a certain power to create an image project, the city sculpture belongs to the city, belongs to the public, it must be based on the public spirit above the public voice, leaving this point, the city sculpture has no value of existence.


Sculpture is the most effective way to record the history and culture of the city artistically. Its special artistic language and strong appeal are irreplaceable in shaping the image of the city, establishing the city logo on the FRP sculpture, and promoting the city brand. Role, "The level of a city's sculpture directly determines the characteristics of the city, the taste of the city and the grade of the city," said Wang Wen, deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture. "The country is booming, the city is booming, and the city is booming." It is the main line of urban sculpture,".


There have been many changes in the concept of sculpture and related technologies, and this change will continue to occur, especially in today's highly developed science and technology, where art is interpreting the essence of sculpture in an unprecedented way and speed, Philadelphia, USA Paul Habard, Dean of the Moore School of Design and a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors and Chairman of the International Sculpture Center, said that these are particularly evident in the fast-growing China.


Russian sculptor Ye Linna Imanakova has long been committed to urban cultural practice. In recent years, many research projects have given her the opportunity to participate in some important cities in the world. She believes that from a historical perspective, the memories of the city are mapped. In the concept and form of public sculpture, the placement of sculptures to preserve the people's historical memory is still a trend in the contemporary world. This tradition is also integrated into the culture of Russia and China, combining the corresponding aesthetic appreciation in each historical stage. Form a unique theme style.


China is in the period of rapid urbanization. With the continuous development of old towns and the development of new districts, a large number of cities have successively opened up a large number of open sculptures to create public spaces, such as city squares, roads, pedestrian streets, and green areas. Building courtyards, etc., how to use these public spaces as carriers to develop urban public art, create a cultural spirit of public space, give humanities a sense of humanity, better display urban style, and become urban construction, urban planning, urban management. Important tasks, "public art categories are complex, large to urban space, urban architecture, small to urban furniture, essays, can be said to be a total of forests, among which, urban sculpture occupies the status of the main body, which is also the recent years, China's urban sculpture business is surging The reason for the momentum is not reduced," said Song Chunhua, chairman of the China Architecture Association.


With the changes of the times, the development of science and technology, the renewal of ideas, many non-sculpture factors will also infiltrate and change the face of sculpture, but the essential attributes of sculpture: three-dimensional space, high generality and hand-made beauty, Can not be lost, "excellent sculptures that truly reflect the voice of the times should have a highly generalized and concise form, such as ancient Chinese Yungang, Longmen, Maijishan, Dazu and other grotto sculptures, ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Renaissance And modern and modern sculptures, ancient Mayan sculptures in Latin America, and sculptures from Asian and African countries. There are many narrative plot sculptures in ancient Chinese and foreign sculptures. They are all artistic descriptions of social life or religious stories at that time. They are not trivial and complicated." The honorary director of the Theoretical Committee of the Chinese Artists Association, art theorist Shao Dazhao said.
