Antony Gormley is an artist interested in the human body as itself and in its relation to the space. His sculptures have a certain continuity and he has his own style which wasn’t appreciated by all critics. We must mention the fact that he uses different materials and that his works are different reinterpretations of the body, again and again.
His latest exhibition is called Meter and is on display until the 13th of July at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Salzburg. His sculptures are formed from modules and have a pixel-like image, thus creating a disruptive image that doesn’t immediately stand out as clear:

His choice of exhibiting on the floor as changes the way his works are perceived. He is very imaginative given the fact that he uses the same theme for decades already, but each exhibition is different and once you get to see one you understand how organic his works are.
“I am interested in the body because it is the place where emotions are most directly registered. When you feel frightened, when you feel excited, happy, depressed, somehow the body registers it”.

Even though he is not really willing to risk (his path is clear, the public knows what to expect from his exhibitions) his works are beautifully executed and can fulfill a space, which is quite rare and is a great quality for an artwork. The Meter exhibition doesn’t have many works, but each room looks as if nothing else should be added, it’s a complete space.
Here are some works from a few years back:
