Shaping The Soul With The Body

Anthony gormley,an internationally renowned British contemporary sculptor since Henry Moore,has been dedicated to the study of the human body.He takes the body as the main theme of his creation,and regards the body as the medium to transmit stories and thoughts.Abandon the traditional body modeling language,re-examine the unknown territory of the body itself,and regard the body as a space that can exist--an objective and real space,rather than a known object.As an artist,but his work is always full of philosophy,he from the perspective of anthropology,sociology,history,through the other to turn produced by itself for the model of cast iron or lead the blurring the body with all sorts of attitude or city streets in the nature,will be familiar with by People's Daily has known things into art,make people in to look at it,to see with different eyes,add personal experience to watch,to think.At the same time,he expanded his vision to the relationship between human beings and the outside world and the universe,and constantly analyzed and explored materials and new artistic expressions.Gormley broke the traditional art and advanced artistic thinking,which made me realize the limitation of my cognition of sculpture art.I always use human body as the creative motif,and attach importance to human body modeling and narration.Through this study on Anthony gormley,I have rediscovered that the body can also be a material,which is full of infinite possibilities.
