Making a Mark: Antony Gormley
Episode 14
Antony Gormley on using his own body as a printing plate and pushing the boundaries of printmaking
For the latest episode of our Making a Mark, we meet Antony Gormley (b. 1950) in his studio complex in London, amongst some of his new works on paper. For over fifty years Gormley has been exploring what it is to be in a body, inhabiting this earth.
His new works include an enormous monoprint, over four metres wide, pressed by hand on the studio floor and life-size prints made by covering his body in a mixture of crude oil, linseed oil, and petroleum jelly before lowering himself on to large sheets of paper. Gormley discusses the extremely physical nature of making these works, their relation to his sculptural installations and pushing the boundaries of printmaking.
We also hear from gallery founder and director Alan Cristea, who also worked with Gormley on the artist's first print major print project over ten years ago.
Presented by writer and critic, Charlotte Mullins.
Recorded August 2026.
