Sculpture - Antony Gormley
I am in awe of the work of the famous English sculptor Antony Gormley, perhaps best known for the amazing Angel of the North sculpture in Gateshead, England...
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!
