Ooops. Got his name wrong. Should be Sir Antony Gormley OBE RA!
Here's another pic for good measure. The white mark on the lower section is actually a sticker (graffiti).

Re: Angel for hope and fear
Some interesting artistic and creative angles to these photographs. You have managed to make it look much better than it ever looks to the casual observer from the front
It is a spectacular sculpture, but the stiffness of the wings is not something that is universally appreciated.
Re: Angel for hope and fear
Thanks spondoolix.
Since seeing it, I'm still working out in my mind what to think. When I first heard about it wondered if it spun around with the wind! (it doesn't).
It does have a strange presence though, I think because of its hilltop position, size/scale, colouring and the awkwardness of those wings.
