Art: Anish Kapoor

A very random post here - not that they aren't all random. Just flicking through some websites and saw these graphic designs (1, 2) which immediately brought British Sculptor Anish Kapoor to the forefront of my mind. He creates these large scale illusionistic pieces like this one below. I really like what he does and also him as a person. He also comes out with some prolific statements, and I feel he is a hundred percent dedicated to what he does (and for all the right reasons).

"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."

"I think I understand something about space. I think the job of a sculptor is spatial as much as it is to do with form."

"I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work."
