One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer
Anish Kapoor
Image
I don't want to have anything to say, it just gets in the way. I think the journey of an artist is a journey of discovery and some engagements with paint, with the nature of material, with bodily things...One wants to open the story, not close it.
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
One of the great currents in the contemporary experience of art is that it seems to come out of the experience of the author.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
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
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
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
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
Image
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
Anish Kapoor
Image
Maybe the way we have learned to look has changed in the last 25 years, and the exotic is much more acceptable. There are many artists now, younger artists, who work out of the exotic
Anish Kapoor
Image
It's the role of the artist to pursue content
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
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I, in the end, make art for myself.
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
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
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
