Figures by Antony Gormley

Antony Gormley was born in London in He is probably the best-known sculptor in Britain today. After studying Archaeology and History of Art at Cambridge University, he went on to study fine art at the Central School of Art and the Slade School of Art in London. He began working on sculptures in 1973.

Antony Gormley has always been interested in the human figure. He often uses his own body as a model for his sculptures. He works on life-size figures and sometimes figures that are 10 times life-size! Many of his sculptures are in public, outdoor spaces. Here are some of his sculptures….

This is the ‘Angel of the North’. It is probably Gormley’s most famous piece. It has become a symbol of the North-East of England. It stands high on a hill overlooking the East Coast Main Railway line and can be seen by the side of the A1 Motorway near Gateshead. This massive sculpture is made of steel and weighs 200 tonnes and has 500 tones of concrete foundations so that it can withstand strong winds. It is 20 metres high (10 times life-size). ‘The Angel of the North’, 1998

Antony Gormley said he wanted to : “Make an object of hope at a painful time for the people of the North-East…” He was concerned about how so many people had lost their jobs when the old mines and many factories had closed in the 1980s.

‘Another Place’ consists of 100 cast iron figures standing gazing out to sea on Crosby beach, near Liverpool. These figures, all cast from the artist’s own body, are spread out over a 3km stretch of the beach. Another Place

Each stands over 2 meters tall. As the tide comes in the figures are partially submerged by the water. A favourite local pastime has been to decorate the figures with hats and clothes!

Event Horizon, 2007 This was a large-scale project. Gormley made 31 life-size bronze male figures and placed them on the rooftops of important buildings across London such as the National Theatre, the Shell Centre and Waterloo bridge. They were meant to advertise his exhibition at the Haywood Gallery, but have proved popular with people and may stay!

Antony Gormley beside some of his figures for ‘Critical Mass’

‘Allotment’ shows a collection of cube-like figures.

In ‘Domain Field’, Antony Gormley used plaster moulds from the bodies of 284 volunteers to create his figures.

‘Field for the British Isles’ is one work which doesn’t feature a mould of Gormley’s body! Itis a collection of 40,000 small clay figures!
