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
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
Anish Kapoor
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

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
All ideas grow out of other ideas
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.

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

Anish Kapoor
Image
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
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
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
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
Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments
Anish Kapoor
Image
Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.
Anish Kapoor
Image
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.
Anish Kapoor
Image
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
Image
The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately
Anish Kapoor
Image
Red, of course, is the colour of the interior of our bodies. In a way it's inside out, red.
Anish Kapoor
