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
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
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.

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
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

I used to empty the studio out and throw stuff away. I now don't. There will be a whole series of dead ends that a year or two down the line I'll come back to
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
All ideas grow out of other ideas
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
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
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
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
I, in the end, make art for myself.
Anish Kapoor

There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
