Continuing on with a look at artists who specialize in 3-d sculptures I ran across Anthony Gormley. Anthony Gormley is an Englishmen who has become very well know for his sculptures that represent the human image. Most of his pieces are created from body molds of himself which he then alters or enlarges to his needs. Although he does have alot of smaller life size work some of his best know pieces are giant sculptures that overlook places like beaches or cities. His largest piece " angel of the north" is 20m high by 54m wide and is Britains largest sculpture. In talking about his work he says it is not suppose to be symbolic of something but representational of a time or action. Its almost like making a three dimensional picture. What makes much of Gromleys work so great is and popular is that he is using the human image to convey a message and doing it in a public way for all to see.
