More quotes by Anish Kapoor
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
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
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
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
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
All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
Anish Kapoor
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
The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately
Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor
Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
Anish Kapoor
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
Anish Kapoor
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
Anish Kapoor
We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.
Anish Kapoor
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
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
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
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
Anish Kapoor
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist
