anish kapoor

'the void is really a state within. it has to do with fear and inner darkness'
by the unique sculptural language often informed by archetypal images such as void, mountain and vessel, artist anish kapoor, creates large scale installation pieces that have such an empowering presence due to their sheer size. kapoor also uses colour in such a way that the space almost diminishes due to the purity of the hue, by covering his large scale forms in pure pigment he creates a sense of space that is generated by the relationship between the body and the object. also due to the shape and concavity of the sculptures in conjunction with the pure colour creates a void of never ending space that completely disconnects from its environment.
