Quantum Cloud XIX
- Antony Gormley, British, 1950-
- Born: London, England
- Work Locations: London, England
Using stainless steel rods, British sculptor Antony Gormley makes sculptures of the body to investigate the many aspects of the human condition. His Quantum Cloud series departs radically from earlier self-contained male figures, cast in lead or modeled from dirt, which spoke of spiritual and physical solitude. These newer figures seem to be in the process of exploding into the world around them. The seemingly lighter-than-air sculptures belie their actual weight and the painstaking labor that went into welding together hundreds upon hundreds of rods.
