A look at figures would not be complete without including Antony Gormley. He received a good deal of media coverage for his installation of figures on New York City rooftops back in 2010 which had the police dealing with calls about possible "jumpers". But he is included here because of his varied explorations of the human form. Exploring abstract shapes and surreal settings, he does capture attention. See more of his work at his site.
