Anish Kapoor

Sculptures

13 August 2022 to 1 January 2023 > Central Exhibition Hall

Since the 1970s, Anish Kapoor has embodied the artistic search for the ‘non-object’ that oscillates between the physical and the non-physical. Many of his objects confuse perception not only through the transgression of negative and positive form but through the absorption or reflection of light on their surface. Kapoor has also become renown for his monumental sculptures; overpowering by virtue of their sheer scale, they obscure the boundaries between architecture and sculpture. His newer works, many site-specific, play with metaphysical opposites and encourage an immediate and direct personal experience of transcendence. Kapoor is one of the most influential sculptors of his generation. Beyond a selection of current works, his large-scale 2015 walk-in sculpture, "Sectional Body preparing for Monadic Singularity" is on display at the Sculpture Park.

Anish Kapoor is one of the most influential sculptors of his generation. Born in Mumbai, he lives in London, where he studied art, since 1973. He represented the United Kingdom at the 1990 Venice Biennale, where he won the prestigious "Premio 2000" international jury award. He also won the Turner Prize (1991) and the Praemium Imperiale (2011). His work has been exhibited globally since the early 1980s.
