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
All ideas grow out of other ideas
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
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
Image
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
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
Image
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.

Image
Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Is it my role as an artist to say something, to express, to be expressive? I think it's my role as an artist to bring to expression, it's not my role to be expressive.
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
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist
Anish Kapoor
Image
If one is talking about sculpture then scale and skin is everything.
Anish Kapoor
Image
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
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
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 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
That freedom that Picasso afforded himself, to be an artist in a huge number of ways, seems to be a huge psychological liberation.
