Anthony Gormley is a British artist known for his exploration of the human body’s relationship to space. His work confronts fundamental questions of where human beings stand in relation to nature and the cosmos. “I've never been interested in making statues,” the artist has said. “But I have been interested in asking what is the nature of the space a human being inhabits.” Gormley continually tries to identify the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise.

He was awarded the Turner Prize in 1994, the title of Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1997, and Knighthood in 2014. Gormley’s works are included in the collection of the Tate Gallery in London, the Malmö Konsthall in Sweden, and the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, among others.
