St Paul's installs new work by Antony Gormley
17 February 2010
 |
St Paul’s has unveiled ‘Flare II’, a new work by Antony Gormley in the dramatic setting of the Cathedral’s Geometric Staircase.
The installation forms part of St Paul’s Cathedral Arts Project, an ongoing programme which seeks to explore the encounter between art and faith.
Antony Gormley said,
"Wren understood proportion, space and gravitational dynamics as no other British architect of his time and the Geometric Staircase is a supreme and elegant outcome of this understanding. "Flare II" is my attempt to use applied geometry to construct an energy field describing a human space in space. I am delighted to have the opportunity to show this work in such a brilliant and relevant context. ”
