About the Artist
Antony Gormley is one of the most significant British sculptors working today, internationally renowned for his profound and often monumental explorations of the human form and its relationship to space, time, and the cosmos. His iconic figures, frequently cast from his own body, serve as universal archetypes, devoid of specific identity, inviting viewers to contemplate shared human experience. Gormley's practice transcends mere representation, delving into themes of memory, consciousness, and collective humanity, often through site-specific installations that engage directly with architectural or natural environments. His work consistently prompts a deep introspection on our physical presence in the world.
