Blocked Body Sculptures

The Antony Gormley 'Still Standing' Exhibition is Expressive

— July 22, 2012 — Art & Design
Using a medium of minimalist geometric shapes, the Antony Gormley 'Still Standing' exhibition gives a logical twist to human emotion.

Being exhibited at the hip White Cube Hoxton Square in London, the sculptures shine with their spacial occupation of the gallery. The installation consists of 17 "body forms" that depict different positions including mid-movement, involuntary spasm and fetal position.

According to WhiteCube, Gormley explains that he aims to apply "the formalism of modernity to the body in order to see what that contradiction brings up in terms of an emotional language"

The most groundbreaking characteristic of Gormley's work is his ability to convey -- at times devastating -- emotion with such a logical cubist medium. It is of a fully modern aesthetic that adheres to the principle of geometric construction. It creates a forum for free interpretation of his work, and a truly fascinating exhibition.
Trend Themes
1. Geometric Minimalism - The trend of using minimalist geometric shapes in art installations challenges traditional forms of emotional expression and opens up new possibilities for creative expression.
2. Logic-based Emotion - The trend of using logic-driven mediums to convey emotion offers opportunities for innovative approaches to art and design across various industries.
3. Free Interpretation - The trend of creating art installations that allow for free interpretation stimulates discussion and engagement with the work, offering unique marketing opportunities for brands that want to inject creativity into their advertising campaigns.
Industry Implications
