Sculptures by Antony Gormley

Antony Gormley is best known for his works that utilize casts of his own body, explored the body as a place rather than an object. His works always takes us into a new zone of structural complexity while at the same time evoking the body as an open space of possibility connected with the earth as well as space at large.

In the last 3 years Gormley has been experimenting with cell aggregates of nesting polyhedra in both solid and space-frame forms turning the space of the body into an open framework of tetrahedral, cubic, dodecahedral and more complex polygons which, in his words, 'achieved a breakthrough when released from a bounding skin.'
