As time goes on, the material has been an extremely important role to play in the sculpture development. In China, traditional sculpture materials have thousands of years of development, and our predecessors have already been familiar with heat and use it freely. After the beginning of the 20th century, the traditional Chinese culture triggered major changes in the concept under the influence of Western culture shock, the traditional realist sculpture in the West spread in China for more than half a century. During this period, Western art experienced the evolution of modernism and post-modernism, and the Western modernist sculpture broaden people's understanding of the "material", they were no longer the four materials of clay, wood, stone and copper of the traditional sense. And the use of the material is very extensive. In view of this, the article analyzes and discusses the application of a new type of material in sculpture.
