装饰是一个充满想象和神奇的世界，它独特的艺术感染力和浓郁的装饰风格，是创作者把形式美的诸因素与装饰艺术的特殊规律融合起来，创造出悦目怡神的装饰美效果。本文所要阐述的金属装饰艺术，是针对用金属材质来加工制作成装饰艺术品而言的，它注重金属材质美的体现，工艺美的表达，并蕴含着形式的艺术美。它的设计与制作过程，既不是单纯的艺术创作过程，也不是单纯的技术加工过程，而是工艺与技术、审美与艺术的完美结合。因此将“现代金属装饰艺术”称之为“现代金工艺术”能较准确的表达出它的内在特征。

金属材质的不同，要求加工手段和制作工艺也有所不同，而不同的工艺技巧和加工方式又产生出不同的效果变化，手工制作自然、质朴，保持着一种原始稚拙的随意性。机械加工简捷、明快、干净利索、线形挺拔、体面分明、精确无误、光亮照人，构成机械美所特有的力量感和现代感。无论是手工还是机械，不同的工艺美都是人类的才智与聪明、自信与欲望、能力与技艺的体现。

金属材质品种繁多，有金、银、铜、钛合金等。金属材质的直接运用，充分体现了天然的材质美、光泽感、肌理效果，给人以直观的感受和强烈冲击。美国雕塑家里拉的环境雕塑即是对不锈钢材质的直接运用，通过机械抛光处理，将不锈钢表面强烈的光泽感体现得淋漓尽致（图1）。金工艺术的表现加工工艺还包括浇铸、锻造、焊接等手段，这些加工工艺都极大地丰富了金工艺术的艺术语言表现。……
