Born in 195  in Liverpool, Tony Cragg is a renowned British sculptor whose large-scale works have been shown at Documenta (1982, 1987), Venice Biennale (1988), Sao Paulo Biennial (1983). He was awarded the Turner Prize, Chevelier des Arts et des Lettres and Praemium Imperiale. Cragg explained, “Sculptures gives us new forms, new ideas, new emotions and provides us with new ways of thinking about our existence.” He constantly explores possibilities of materials and forms with natural and industrial materials.

For BAB 2024, It is, It isn’t (2023-24), is the largest public sculpture by Cragg commissioned by One Bangkok, a mixed-use development at the heart of Bangkok. Standing elegantly at the Plaza, One Bangkok, stacks of stainless-steel sheets are placed in a real estate surrounded by office buildings, rows of trees and gardens. Layers of fluid shiny curves evoke rhythmic movement making heavy industrial materials blend with the natural surrounding. Cragg is inspired by human form as It is It isn’t is, seems to be abstract but also contains resemblance of a human face. With human traffic of office workers, residents and tourists who circulate at the Plaza, One Bangkok, It is, It isn’t becomes a landmark that harks back to the idea that man-made environment and nature are in coexistence.
