Antony Gormley is one of the most famous contemporary English sculptors. Moreover, the sources of inspiration for him are his own body. Almost all human figures in his sculptures repeat the size and shape of the body of Antony Gormley himself. That's just, they repeat them in a very deconstructive way.
Antony Gormley in his sculptures reinterprets the very concepts of structure and construction. According to the sculpture, the body will remain the body, regardless of what it is made of - flesh and blood or, for example, garbage (there is such a sculpture by Antony Gormley - “Garbage Man”).
The exhibition at the Anna Schwartz Gallery in Sydney features several of these works by Anthony Gormley. Sculptures in the form of human figures (that is, the figures of the sculptor himself) are created from many different materials and structures - from steel squares, from balls, apparently symbolizing atoms, from wooden Christian crosses, from whole and broken metal hexagons, etc.
Anthony Gormley does not stop in creativity, he constantly experiments. Each of his works is a new look at the human essence. Whether it's a nail sculpture or a flower sculpture. People are multifaceted.
