Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor is one of the most influential sculptors of his generation. Born in Bombay in 1952, he has lived and worked in London since he moved to England at the age of 20. Kapoor studied art, first at the Hornsey College of Art and later at the Chelsea Scool of Art Design.

Kapoor sees his work as being engagedwith deep-rooted metaphysical polarities; presence and absence, being and non-being, place and non-place and the solid and the intangible. Throughout Kapoor's sculptures his fascination with darkness and light is apparent; the translucent quality of the resin works, the absorbent nature of the pigment, the radiant glow of alabaster and the fluid reflections of stainless steel and water.
