More quotes by 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
The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately
Anish Kapoor
Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments
Anish Kapoor
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.
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
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
What one does in the studio is to pose a series of problems to oneself. I've got to look for some deeper meaning, for some reason for this thing to be in the world. There's enough stuff in the world.
Anish Kapoor
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
Anish Kapoor
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
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
Anish Kapoor
I think I understand something about space. I think the job of a sculptor is spatial as much as it is to do with form.
Anish Kapoor
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
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
Anish Kapoor
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
My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis
Anish Kapoor
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
Anish Kapoor
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
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
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
I, in the end, make art for myself.
Anish Kapoor
