More quotes by 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
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
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
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
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
The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately
Anish Kapoor
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
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
All ideas grow out of other ideas
Anish Kapoor
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.
Anish Kapoor
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important
Anish Kapoor
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
Anish Kapoor
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
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
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
My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis
Anish Kapoor
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
Anish Kapoor
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
Anish Kapoor
If one is talking about sculpture then scale and skin is everything.
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
