More quotes by 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
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
Anish Kapoor
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
Anish Kapoor
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
Anish Kapoor
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
My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis
Anish Kapoor
Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments
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
I, in the end, make art for myself.
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
My first show sold within the first 3 minutes, and I came back to the studio and spent the next two and a half years making almost nothing
Anish Kapoor
What interests me is the sense of the darkness that we carry within us, the darkness that's akin to one of the principal subjects of the sublime - terror
Anish Kapoor
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
If one is talking about sculpture then scale and skin is everything.
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
All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
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
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
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
We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.
Anish Kapoor
