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
You know that day after day of, Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
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
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
Anish Kapoor
Image
I, in the end, make art for myself.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I'm not necessarily interested in being the best Indian artist. I want to be the best artist I can be. That's enough of a declaration of intent.
Anish Kapoor
Image
All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
Image
The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story.
Anish Kapoor
Image
One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer
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
Anish Kapoor
Image
The most important things that one's working on are not necessarily the most important things that one thinks one's working on.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist
Anish Kapoor
Image
It's the role of the artist to pursue content
Anish Kapoor
Image
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
Anish Kapoor
Image
One cannot set out to make a work that's spiritual. What is a contemporary iconography for the spiritual? Is it some fuzzy space?
Anish Kapoor
Image
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
