More quotes by Anish Kapoor
All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
It's precisely in those moments when I don't know what to do, boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities to either get somewhere or not get anywhere.
Anish Kapoor
That freedom that Picasso afforded himself, to be an artist in a huge number of ways, seems to be a huge psychological liberation.
Anish Kapoor
Red is a colour I've felt very strongly about. Maybe red is a very Indian colour, maybe it's one of those things that I grew up with and recognise at some other level.
Anish Kapoor
Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
Anish Kapoor
A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already
Anish Kapoor
One does not set out with the idea that I've just had a great idea and now I'm going to go and carry it out. Almost all art that's made like that doesn't go anywhere.
Anish Kapoor
Being an artist is a very long game. It is not a 10-year game. I hope I'll be around making art when I'm 80
Anish Kapoor
My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis
Anish Kapoor
The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story.
Anish Kapoor
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
Anish Kapoor
If one is talking about sculpture then scale and skin is everything.
Anish Kapoor
There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
Anish Kapoor
I've always felt that if one was going to take seriously this vocation as an artist, you have to get beyond that decorative facade
Anish Kapoor
It is important that artists are not outside the equation, we don't stand on the sidelines. Artists are part of the story of a response, we cannot stand aside and let others make the response.
Anish Kapoor
One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer
Anish Kapoor
One does afford oneself the luxury to come into the studio and all day, every day, spend one's life making aesthetic propositions. What an immense luxury
Anish Kapoor
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
Anish Kapoor
One can hardly be Indian and not know that almost every accent, which hand you eat your food with, has some deeper symbolic truth, reality.
Anish Kapoor
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist
Anish Kapoor
