Artist Biography

b.1950
British sculptor Antony Gormley began creating sculptures cast directly from his own body in 1981. Since then, he has abstracted the human bodies into cast iron blocks and weaved steel bars to
explore the human condition and its interaction with the surroundings.

His other public installations include Angel of the North (1998) in Gateshead (UK), Event Horizon (2007-2015), which was shown in London, São Paolo, and Hong Kong, Here and There (2002) in Osaka(Japan) and Bearing III (1997) in Tongyoung City (South
Korea).

Recently, Gormley has received retrospectives at the Musée Rodin, Paris (Critical Mass, 2023-2024), TAG Art Museum, Qingdao, China (Living Time, 2023), and the National Gallery of Singapore (2021). He has held solo exhibitions at White Cube in New York (Aerial, 2024) and London (Body Politic, 2023), and Thaddaeus Ropac in Salzburg (Umwelt, 2023) and London (Sense: Beuys / Gormley, a conversation through drawing, 2023). His work appears in internationally famed public collections including
the British Museum, London, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, M+, Hong Kong, Leeum Samsung Museum, Seoul, and the Uffizi Gallery, Florence.
