Beijing's 798 Art District has recently unveiled British sculptor Antony Gormley's solo exhibition featuring 132 life-sized red clay brick sculptures crafted in Yixing, China's Jiangsu Province. Arranged across the gallery floor, these sculptures made from bricks of varying sizes evoke infinite possible configurations.
While these humanoid forms lack a narrative, they suggest a striking dialogue between desolation and urban architecture, highlighting the complex relationship between life and the built environment.
