Anish Kapoor


Anish Kapoor, an Indian sculptor from Mumbai, India.  Kapoor  has lived and worked in the UK since the 70's.  Kapoor first studied art at the Hornsey College of Art after which he moved to the Chelsea School of Arts and Design.

Kapoor's initial exhibits were viewed along with others as the New British Sculpture art scene (detailed information will follow).  He followed this with international exhibitions in the Tate and Hayward Gallery, London.  Also in other international houses such as Kunsthalle, Basel; Haus der Kunst, Munich; Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin; Reina Sofia, Madrid; M.A.K., Vienna and the I.C.A., Boston.

Anish Kapoor's work.

Mainly using monochromes and bright colours, along side materials such as wax, powder pigment, quarried stone, metal.  His thought process is to play with positives and negatives.
His most recent work was exhibited in Kensington Gardens, London using metal to bend, reflect and distort the viewer and the surroundings.

Below are several photographs that I captured for everyone to view and see Kapoors wizardry use of metal from Hyde Park.
