Anish Kapoor is considered one of the most significant and influential artists working today. Perhaps most famous for public sculptures that are both adventures in form and feats of engineering, Kapoor maneuvers between vastly different scales and across numerous series of work.
Immense PVC skins, stretched or deflated; concave or convex mirrors whose reflections attract and swallow the viewer; recesses carved in stone and pigmented so as to disappearthese voids and protrusions summon metaphysical polarities of presence and absence, concealment and revelation.
Forms turn themselves inside out, womb-like, and materials are not painted but impregnated with colour, as if to negate the idea of an outer surface, inviting the viewer into the inner reaches of the imagination.
