Technology is the foundation of art, art is the sublimation of technology. In the twentieth Century, western artists began to explore the use of welding techniques for metal welding sculpture works of art creation, so the art of welding as a post-modern art form emerged. The welding seam, cutting marks and so on have become a kind of wonderful and indispensable artistic expression language in the welding sculpture.
1, welding art status
Referring to the art of welding, it has to be said that those who pioneered the art of welding. The modern American sculptor Smith welding technology creation "royal bird" "forest" and other works, style simple, concise and straightforward; welding works of British outstanding contemporary sculptor Carlo metal lively, concise and lively works, "noon" by several pieces of I-steel beam welded, is typical of his artistic language as a personalized as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Carol's work "noon"
Whether it is Smith or Carol, as a sculptor, they are trying to achieve through the welding technology of sculpture art breakthrough and innovation, so in their welding art, contains strong sculpture features and color, at the same time they are using different welding art genre pioneered welding technology, or in the selection, or in the color, or in the creation technique, gives an artist on art aesthetic interpretation.
In 1960s, the metal welding sculpture in western countries developed rapidly and matured, and formed a relatively complete system and obtained the theoretical support. Now in foreign welding art, has formed a complete chain of art, from the creation of professional settings, to create room, research institutions, and finally to the art exhibition, auction and collection of market economy, provide a good environment for the development of the art development of welding art.
It was not until 1990s that some of the Academy of Fine Arts in China began to offer metal welding sculpture courses. With the continuous development and integration of the art of sculpture and welding technology, the metal is transformed from a passive form of material conversion to an active direct form. At present, the domestic welding art awareness and low recognition, welding art market level should be improved, and the domestic welding works of art creators are mostly art college background, the influence of welding art trend abroad and engaged in welding art creation by the agricultural society, the influence of traditional aesthetics, there are few professional the practice of welding technology, so their works tend to rational realism, and the influence Chinese painting art school, traces of the more obvious, in the welding work Chinese means strong wind.
2, the art of welding
Art is different from the welding welding process, welding, cutting, burning and other marks are the means of artistic expression, dark gray, white, red and so on are artistic creation can choose color, iron, copper, aluminum and so on. All is the art of writing materials. So the welding art is a broad, broad art, the art of all-round, multi angle, elegance and harmony.
2.1, the space of welding art
The welding art originates from the sculpture art, so the welding art has passed on the characteristics of the sculpture art greatly, thus the stereoscopic sense has been made great progress in the welding work, and at the same time, it shows the fantastic imagination of the artists. Through the artist's localization, the welding works into the characteristics of landscape architecture, Chinese painting works, many consider the distance, height, density, and art forms in the space layout, considering multi angle space, Beijing Song Li Ying has multiple works of artistic features in this area, such as shown in figure 2.

2.2, the time of welding art
The welding art works a long time, the welding material, from conception to the time required may be one day, may also be a week, for large welding works, the required time may be longer, the creative process embodies the artist's hard work and talent, it is an art of imagination and original materials, welding technology, continuous collision and continuous improvement process. In addition, this process has a certain timeliness, welding works of art in different periods, different forms of social thought, the artistic experience is not the same. In "Ode to peace" China steel welding Art Invitational, process from Russia Nijida creation "-" the flower clock fully reflects this, as shown in figure 3.
Figure 3 Nijida works "flower clock"
2.3, welding art color
Welding works, welding material for color post-processing techniques and different can exhibit a variety of different colors, the selection of materials can be brass, aluminum, iron white, and after welding welded part of the color is not the same. Can choose the welding electric arc welding, submerged arc welding, gas welding, weld penetration, postweld heat preservation can be controlled, so that the color can show the situation after welding, burning after welding can also be retained under primary shallow weld.
Such as Chinese ink painting, ink with different, different shades of color. In addition, after the welding works of art placed in a long time, the color will be different, iron can produce red rust, and copper can produce green patina, these are the art of color transformation can use style and unique features.
Is representative of the Central Academy of fine arts Xu Guohua's crawling, as shown in figure 4.

2.4, the history of welding art
The history of art is mainly reflected in the material before the art works of art, many works of art material for welding metal components of waste, can be a waste of the bicycle wheel, can also be twisted steel building in the ruins. These materials have traces of their true use, may also be accompanied by a long history. Such as the Statue of Liberty of the Berlin wall bolt abandoned brick, the historical value once attached in the welding of art works, will let the welding art more profound.
3, further exploration of the art of welding
3.1, the technical means of welding art
Welding is the art of welding, welding technology directly affects the creation of welding art and artistic inspiration. In the welding of artistic creation in the present, many artists do not have welding welding technology, although the welding works of art can not be denied, but at least in the welding field, it should be the lack of technical art of color, this is not a kind of artistic creation defect.
At present, the
3.2, the process of welding art show
The process of welding works is a component of space position and angle adjustment gradually, gradually, gradually welding postprocessing, this process is a process of artistic creators gradually display, from which you can truly feel the creators of rich imagination and emotional world of fantasy.
In addition, the strange shape of the welding process and the appearance of the temperature changes in the twinkling of an eye with the welding scene, there are amazing artistic value. Now some companies from the welding photography exhibition and association, you can enjoy the artistic charm of the welding process, only be able to experience the beauty of the art creation process from the light and shadow, welding and weld in welding slag.
3.3, the environmental changes of works of Art
Metal welding work volume is relatively large, with the exception of a small number of sealed preservation, most of the open display, under the influence of sunlight, time, the work will have a process of morphological changes. If the light will appear on the works or bright, or dark regions, will affect the aesthetic impression works itself to geometric structure, especially a large open-air metal welding works in Dongsheng West down the natural conditions of the sun, its luminosity and its projection will change, which we need in the welding of art design in consideration.
The metal in the natural environment is easy to corrode, after a certain period of metal welding works will leave traces of history. If the initial art design, consider the use of different materials, different forms of art and art show in the form of metal properties in time, gravity, natural conditions such as multiple welding under the influence of the artistic value and artistic vitality of art will have a significant improvement.
4, the influence of welding art
When welding as a repetitive and sound, light pollution of the profession, it will make people feel very boring and less sense of accomplishment. But the art of welding, the work has great vitality due from a mechanical boring into another try and pursue, welding is achieved from the skill to the ability, to the sublimation of art, so that people in the industry see this industry on the other side. It can be said that the welding art opened a door, a skill talent to achieve their own artistic value of the door, I believe this will bring new development and leap for the skills industry.
