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
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
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
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
