Anish Kapoor - From the Activity category:
I feel there's everything to do yet. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Aging category:
Being an artist is a very long game. It is not a 10-year game. I hope I'll be around making art when I'm 80. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Artists category:
Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Audience category:
There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Belief category:
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Boredom category:
It's precisely in those moments when I don't know what to do, boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities to either get somewhere or not get anywhere. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Colour category:
Red is a colour I've felt very strongly about. Maybe red is a very Indian colour, maybe it's one of those things that I grew up with and recognise at some other level. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Colour category:
Red, of course, is the colour of the interior of our bodies. In a way it's inside out, red. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Contemporary Art category:
One of the great currents in the contemporary experience of art is that it seems to come out of the experience of the author. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Critics category:
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Ego category:
I, in the end, make art for myself. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Excellence category:
A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Expression category:
Is it my role as an artist to say something, to express, to be expressive? I think it's my role as an artist to bring to expression, it's not my role to be expressive. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Fear category:
You know that day after day of, Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Freedom category:
That freedom that Picasso afforded himself, to be an artist in a huge number of ways, seems to be a huge psychological liberation. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Ideas category:
All ideas grow out of other ideas. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Ideas category:
One does not set out with the idea that I've just had a great idea and now I'm going to go and carry it out. Almost all art that's made like that doesn't go anywhere. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Insight category:
Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Interest category:
What interests me is the sense of the darkness that we carry within us, the darkness that's akin to one of the principal subjects of the sublime - terror. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Language category:
The idea is that the object has a language unto itself. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Life category:
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. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Meaning category:
The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Meaning category:
What one does in the studio is to pose a series of problems to oneself. I've got to look for some deeper meaning, for some reason for this thing to be in the world. There's enough stuff in the world. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Patriotism category:
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Planning category:
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Problems category:
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Profession category:
I've always felt that if one was going to take seriously this vocation as an artist, you have to get beyond that decorative facade. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Purpose category:
It's the role of the artist to pursue content. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Purpose category:
We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Sculpture category:
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Seeing category:
The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Silence category:
I've nothing to say. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Space category:
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. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Spectator category:
One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Spirituality category:
One cannot set out to make a work that's spiritual. What is a contemporary iconography for the spiritual? Is it some fuzzy space? (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Studio category:
I used to empty the studio out and throw stuff away. I now don't. There will be a whole series of dead ends that a year or two down the line I'll come back to. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Subject category:
Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context - and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away. (Anish Kapoor)
Anish Kapoor - From the Work category:
Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments. (Anish Kapoor)
