More quotes by Anish Kapoor
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
Anish Kapoor
Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
Anish Kapoor
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.
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
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
All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
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
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
Red, of course, is the colour of the interior of our bodies. In a way it's inside out, red.
Anish Kapoor
The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately
Anish Kapoor
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
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
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
If one is talking about sculpture then scale and skin is everything.
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'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
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
Anish Kapoor
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
Anish Kapoor
I've always felt that if one was going to take seriously this vocation as an artist, you have to get beyond that decorative facade
Anish Kapoor
Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments
Anish Kapoor
