Pu Tian-sheng, known as "Taiwan's number one sculptor," was a pioneer of Western classical sculpture in Taiwan. He gained renown for his figure sculpture work, showing a particular gift for interpreting the texture of his figures in his pieces. His works not only captured a microcosm of modern Taiwanese society but also stand as witness to the diversity of the field, from tradition to postmodernism. Pu once remarked, "I have given my life to sculpture, and it, in turn, has given life to me."
