ANTONY GORMLEY (B. 1950)

‘In applying the rules of architecture and its absolute geometries, using an objective register of a particular human life, I try to let an improvised construction evoke an internal state. The success of any one work depends on there being an absolute tension between the sharp material clarity of the steel blocks, and a sense of vulnerability and exposure in the gestalt.’(A. Gormley, September 2014 [https://www.antonygormley.com/sculpture/item-view/id/221]).
