Rob Ryan who works in East London.
He makes drawings and pictures everyday, a lot of his work are cut from paper, intricate pieces of cut out of paper when they are finished.
His works principally about drawing, the reason he likes working in paper cutting is because it really strips the work down to the bare of essential of what are the pictures are about.
He likes telling stories, and producing quite straightforward images that aren't only mysterious it is really to understand.
love is the thing we all aspire to receiving and giving, that is on thing that we all hungering for
Antony Gormley
Almost all his work takes the human body as its subject, with his own body used in many works as the basis for metal casts. Gormley describes his work as "an attempt to materialise the place at the other side of appearance where we all live."
This placement plays with the concept of internal / external, both in terms of the architectural space (indoor versus outdoor), and the identities of the figures, the sculptor and the viewer (self versus other). The architectural barrier of the building defines the sculpture, making it an image of alienation.
I chose this work as my research is because this picture reminds me the boundaries between human, which somehow grills might have the same feeling .
Reflection (2001)
Bread and settled human life go together. BREAD LINE is a measuring of life, the distance we go, the distance we travel in a body, a moment at a time. Bites of bread laid out on the floor, footprints in the snow, bites in bread, traces in time.

I like the way he produce this work because the work looks clean and neatly arranged, which reminds me of the grill I am exploring, and it gives me an idea to rethink the negative and positive space.
Rupert Ackroyd
Ackroyd’s structure, which was based on a technique used in timber framing for centuries and which the artist learnt under the tutelage of a master oak framer, speaks of a quintessentially English vernacular, very much in line with the sculptor’s recent explorations into the aesthetics of tradition. Combined or overlaid with Turnbull’s pared-down interior designs, this situated Green Oak Aqua Modern in a bygone age, marrying formalism with English restraint, a reserved riposte to fussy, contemporary concerns – artistic or otherwise.
