French philospher Maurice Merleau –Ponty regards perception as a means of opening to and interacting with the world His propositon of learning about the world by hands on experience and his notion that the body that lives the experience is rendered visible in the work of art is considered to be important for this paper which aims to study Gormley’s works Both Ponty and Gormley place the body in the center of our senses of the world According to Ponty the body is a world oriented perceptive domain of consciousness whereas Gormley presents the body with a new form and expression It is difficult to grasp what philosophical and aesthetic approach Gormley employs in the semioticization of bodies the most significant indication of his art In order to understand Gormley’s works thorougly it is thought to be useful to make a connection between his discourse and Ponty’s perspective of the body Key Words: Gormley sculpture figure artistic look body
