Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor is an internationally acclaimed artist who came to prominence in the 1980s. His sculptures invoke the sublime and provoke an intense spiritual and physical response. A wide range of Kapoor's work is featured in this book including sculptures in which he explores the concept of the 'void'. Kapoor cuts deep into blocks of stone, sometimes coating the interior surfaces with a rich pigment, transforming the void into a charged, dark space. He also works with reflective surfaces which appear to engulf the viewer and the surrounding space.
