Widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space, his work has developed the potential opened up by sculpture since the 1960s through a 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 continually tries to identify the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise. Gormley's major new solo exhibition opens on 21st September at Royal Academy of the Arts until 3 December 2019.
