Here's a short excerpt from Antony's biography on his website, and pictures of some if his incredible sculptures of the human form:"Over the last 25 years Antony Gormley has revitalised the human image in sculpture through a radical investigation of the body as a place of memory and transformation, using his own body as a subject, tool and material. Since 1990 he has expanded his concern with the human condition to explore the collective body and the relationship between self and other in large-scale installations"
This last sculpture was made purely of waste items and was later burnt by the artist. Pretty incredible!(Images: Antony Gormley)
oooh... arrhhh ... oh!! Some look painful. But they are incredible. I like some more than others, however they all make you stop and consider. Which is just what art should do. Great post! x Julie
