"In Antony Gormley’s remarkable drawings the body is not so much seen from the outside as felt from the inside. The drawings express physical and spiritual experiences of what it is like to be a human being in the world, with fear and loneliness as well as joy and sharing. The figure is not standardised and ideal, but can be small or large; it is not isolated and complete in itself but interacts with the space and the light and dark areas around itself." - Retrieved from this link
I like the fluidity of Gormley's work, especially his work in ink where it appears he has used a large amount of water to dilute and distort the body. I like how the body is hinted at in some of his work. The human form is often silhouetted and blocked in, with no facial features or details recorded, adding to an ambiguity and anonymity to his work. He doesn't get caught up on that the ideal body should look like, but explores and describes the human form in a free and gestural way.
