Antony Gormley — Small Stress IV
Antony Gormley

Small Stress IV

2014

"Small Stress IV" is a cast iron sculpture by British artist Antony Gormley that continues his exploration of the human body as a site of existential inquiry. The work employs Gormley's characteristic casting technique, creating a solid iron form that evokes bodily presence while emphasizing weight, materiality, and the physical stress implied by its title. Like much of his practice, the sculpture investigates the relationship between internal experience and external form through the reduction of the human figure to its essential cast structure.
