ANTONY GORMLEY: ELEMENTAL
5 September to 15 November Crosby Beach has been something of a shrine to Antony Gormley ever since the 100 statues that comprise Another Place were installed on the sand in 2005. Now visitors to Southport can explore another side to the sculptor’s practice via his works on paper. The recent North Light series was made on location in Norfolk using carbon and casein – a quickdrying paint with a glue-like consistency. The Atkinson, Southport. www.theatkinson.co.uk
