More quotes by Anish Kapoor

Image
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
I think I understand something about space. I think the job of a sculptor is spatial as much as it is to do with form.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments
Anish Kapoor
Image
What one does in the studio is to pose a series of problems to oneself. I've got to look for some deeper meaning, for some reason for this thing to be in the world. There's enough stuff in the world.
Anish Kapoor
Image
We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist
Anish Kapoor
Image
The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately
Anish Kapoor
Image
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I am really interested in the idea that art can reach wider, can go further, can go beyond the art world, why not? People are intelligent, people are visually intelligent, and why shouldn't the work be able to engage some of that?
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
The whole point of being an artist is to have no agenda. To say, you know, I don't know what I am going to do tomorrow, I don't know what it's going to look like, and I'm going to have a go at it.
Anish Kapoor
Image
There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
Anish Kapoor
Image
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
Anish Kapoor
Image
One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer
Anish Kapoor
Image
My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis
Anish Kapoor
Image
Red, of course, is the colour of the interior of our bodies. In a way it's inside out, red.
Anish Kapoor
Image
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already
