Anish Kapoor
Every idea has its scale.

In the early 1980s Anish Kapoor (1954, India) gained international recognition as a sculptor, showing a new and unusual style. Though he has lived and worked in London, he frequently visits India and has acknowledged that his art is inspired by both Western and Eastern cultures. Simple, curved forms, usually monochromatic and brightly colored define Kapoor’s esthetic. The intention is to engage the viewer, evoking mystery through the works' dark cavities, awe through their size and simple beauty, tactility through their inviting surfaces and fascination through their reflective facades.
