Mixed media on paper. Signed, titled, dated and numbered in pencil verso. From the iconic Insiders series.

A striking mixed media on paper from Antony Gormley's seminal Insiders series, this work presents a dark, densely layered silhouette of the human body that appears to emerge from — or dissolve into — the surface of the sheet. The figure is at once monumental and vulnerable, radiating the existential weight that characterises Gormley's exploration of the body as a site of experience. Signed, titled, dated and numbered verso, from the intimate edition of just 14, this is a rare and compelling example of the sculptor's work on paper.

Antony Gormley (United Kingdom, 1950) is a British sculptor celebrated for his exploration of the human form and its relationship to space. Known for iconic works like Angel of the North and Another Place, Gormley often uses his own body as a template. His sculptures challenge perceptions of identity, presence, and the environment.

Medium

Mixed Media

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

I'm trying to make work that is reflective and is encouraging of reflection.
- Antony Gormley

As a sculptor, almost all of Antony Gormley’s works take the human body as its subject – many works make use of his own body, or that of his friends, as the basis for metal casts. Gormley has described his work as ‘an attempt to materialise the place at the other side of appearance where we all live’ - his Event Horizon piece featured 31 separate life-sized and anatomically correct casts of his body – four in iron and 27 in fiberglass – situated along the tops of buildings along London’s South Bank, and later installed around Madison Square in New York City; of these works, Gormley has stated that they may encourage individuals to ‘reassess their own position in the world’ and become aware of their ‘status of embedment’. Among other notable works is the Angel of The North, a public steel sculpture situated in Gateshead, United Kingdom – the sculpture measures at 66ft tall with wings measuring 177ft across.

What is Environmental Art?

Environmental art is a collective term that refers to a wide range of artistic practices and works that engage with historical and ecological themes. The term often encompasses ecological concerns, although it is not exclusively defined by them. Environmental art acknowledges and appreciates the early history of the environmental art movement, including works with activist themes and those celebrating the connection between nature and the artist through the use of natural materials.
