About the artist

Antony Gormley is one of Britain’s most significant living sculptors, internationally recognised for his exploration of the human body and its relationship to space, time, and landscape. Best known for iconic public works such as Angel of the North and Another Place, Gormley uses sculpture to investigate what it means to inhabit a human body, and how that body relates to its environment.

His practice often begins with casts of his own form, which are then transformed into powerful, often abstracted figures made from materials such as iron, lead, or steel. These works act as universal stand-ins—evocative, anonymous forms that speak to both the individual and collective human condition. Whether embedded in natural settings or placed within architectural contexts, Gormley’s sculptures provoke reflection on presence, vulnerability, and the human connection to the world around us.

With a career spanning over four decades, Gormley has exhibited in leading institutions worldwide, including the British Museum, the Royal Academy, and the Centre Pompidou. His work has redefined the possibilities of contemporary sculpture, and continues to influence generations of artists. At Lougher, collectors can explore a curated selection of Antony Gormley’s works—deeply contemplative pieces that fuse physical presence with philosophical inquiry.
