Antony Gormley, as an internationally renowned contemporary artist, has been committed to the artistic practice of human sculpture. He brings the human sculpture back to the center of contemporary art in a new way. The most distinctive external feature of his artistic practice is his approach to different public spaces, which is based on the updated understanding of space in contemporary art. Since the 20th century, "space" has gradually become the focus of attention in the field of Western humanities and social sciences, highlighting its independent value and deriving unprecedented dimensions and semantics. This article first examines the artist's historical background and growth experiences, analyzes Gormley's typical works, and discusses the factors such as materials, actions, and concepts in his works. On this basis, it explores Gormley's artistic practice of human sculpture in a wide range of public spaces, and ultimately uncovering the artistic contributions of Gormley's body sculptures to the renewal of relationships among the body, space, environment, and the public in contemporary times.
