Sculptors of Antony Gormley

Antony Gormley was born in London in 1950.  Gomely is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space. His work developed an opening up of sculptures since the 1960's through critical engagement with both his own body and those of others, in a way that confronts fundamental questions of where human beings stand in relation to nature and the cosmos. Gormley identified the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviors, thoughts and feelings can arise.

Sculptures of Ronald Bladen

Allow yourself to be wooed by a modern master. Ronald Bladen is considered one of the fathers of minimalism, but he envisioned himself a romantic. This attitude was a successful attempt to avoid the trap of a pigeonhole.  His interest was in the dramatic effects that a sculpture could have on a viewer, his accomplishments are clear to anyone that approaches his striking monumental works.   

Sculptor Pol Bury

Pol Bury was a Belgian-born sculptor known for fantastical spherical works. His massive installations were heavily inspired by the work of Alexander Calder, and throughout his career he created massive fountains for the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Palais-Royale Gardens in Paris and Tokyo’s Tohuka University of Art & Design. He began designing avante-garde statement jewelry in 1968, which incorporated the strong, circular components of his works into wearable art.
