Falling Angel


Angels are celesital beings connected to experiences without rational explanations.These mysterious winged messsengers are present everywhere: you rarely see them, you can only sense them. Their presence is felt when we use our imagination.
Angels do not neccesarily resemble the image we have of them. The pictures we find on paintings represent the wishful thinking of artists of diverse periods.
Flare II, a sculpture of dense wire mess of a falling figure within a wire cloud by Anthony Gromley has been installed in St Paul's Cathedral's Geometric Staircase in London. It leaves viewers to decide whether it is human or angel.
„Flare II is my attempt to use applied geometry to construct an energy field describing a human space in space.” – said Gormley.
