彩塑是我国民间传统的造型艺术，以泥土为原料，由手工捏制成形，或素或彩，造型以人物、动物为主。彩塑艺术分布广泛，山西、天津、河南、陕西等地，都有大小不同的庙宇彩塑神像。

彩塑艺术曾在洛阳历史上大放异彩，尤其在盛唐时期达到顶峰。洛阳北魏永宁寺塔遗址出土的一件泥塑面像残高25厘米，按比例推算如为立像，通高约3米。该残件是现在洛阳保存的珍贵文物之一。

李氏彩塑，从李公讳创立，传到李明甫已有十九代，到今有400余年。

目前，作为李氏彩塑十九代传人及代表性传承人物的李明甫，是中国民间文艺家协会会员、中国当代杰出工艺美术家、河南省民间泥塑面塑大师、洛阳市雕塑艺术研究会副会长。

Colored sculpture is a traditional folk plastic art in China, which uses clay as the raw material and is made into shapes, plain or colored, by hand. The shapes are mainly of figures and animals. The art of colored sculpture has once flourished in Luoyang history, reaching its peak in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. A head of clay sculpture with a residual height of 25cm was unearthed at the Yongning Temple Pagoda site in the Northern Wei Dynasty in Luoyang . According to the proportion, it is estimated to be a vertical statue, with a total height of about 3m. This remnant is one of the precious cultural relics preserved in Luoyang. From Li Gonghui to his descendent Li Mingfu, colored sculpture of the Li s family has gone through more than 400 years. On the basis of inheriting the traditional color sculpture technology of his ancestors, Li Mingfu made bold innovations and developed in many directions. He boldly tried new materials(such as ceramics, matches, etc. to further develop the colored sculpture technology.
