Anthony Gormley's work is something new to me the way he creates art is imaginative and different, I also would to be able to vary in many mediums which I would enjoy doing flowing the influence of his work. the structure and strength is brilliant aswell as been elligant and attactive. Id like to be able to make many sculpures paintings etc using the influence from my artists to find best possible outcomes.
In a career spanning nearly 40 years, Antony Gormley has made sculpture that explores the relation of the human body to space at large, explicitly in large-scale installations like ANOTHER PLACE, DOMAIN FIELD and INSIDE AUSTRALIA and implicitly in works such as CLEARING, BREATHING ROOM and BLIND LIGHT, where the work becomes a frame through which the viewer becomes the viewed. By using his own existence as a test ground, Gormley's work transforms a site of subjective experience into one of collective projection. Increasingly, the artist has taken his practice beyond the gallery, engaging the public in active participation, as in CLAY AND THE COLLECTIVE BODY (Helsinki) and the acclaimed ONE & OTHER commission in London's Trafalgar Square.
Lily Cole's Art Matters: Antony Gormley
Lily Cole gets inside the studio and mind of sculptor Antony Gormley
Antony Gormley is well known for his large-scale installations from Angel of the North to Event Horizon, and in Lily Cole's Art Matters Lily meets the artist who uses his own body as a basis for almost all of his work.
Beginning in his studio in North London, where Gormley employs 20 artists and assistants, Lily learns about the discipline and claustrophobic processes he endures to create his many trademark plaster casts. Lily and Gormley take an inspirational bike ride around London, visiting the Fourth Plinth, home to his pioneering One & Other project in 2009.
They also visit the South Bank, where Gormley pitched body casts on top of Thameside buildings as part of his 2007 retrospective at the Hayward Gallery, a project which he controversially transferred to New York in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. They also visit the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg in order to experience one of this latest projects, Horizon Field, a huge black reflective and interactive installation that floats 7.5 metres above the gallery floor.
With thoughts from curators, art critics and experts including Iwona Blazwick, Nancy Durrant, Miranda Sawyer and Anna Moszynska, we're treated to an inroad into the drive, ideas and projects of Gormley.
