antony gormley fills italy's galleria continua with bodies built like labyrinth cities

British sculptor Antony Gormley has filled Italy's Galleria Continua with a new body of work featuring sculptures that resemble labyrinthine cities. The exhibition includes pieces such as "SKEW II" and "BIG PRESS," both created in 2026, as documented in images by Ela Bialkowska of OKNO Studio. The works continue Gormley's exploration of the human form and its relationship to space and architecture.

This exhibition matters because it represents Gormley's ongoing evolution as one of the most influential living sculptors, merging the human body with urban and architectural forms. By transforming bodies into labyrinth-like structures, Gormley invites viewers to reconsider the boundaries between the self and the built environment, a theme that resonates with contemporary discussions about identity, space, and community in an increasingly urbanized world.
