Anish Kapoor (°1954)
Anish Kapoor was born in Bombay in 1954 and left India in 1973 when he studied at Hornsey College of Art and Chelsea School of Art Design. He has lived in London since the early 70’s.
One of the world's most distinguished contemporary artists, Turner Prize winning Anish Kapoor is well known for his use of rich pigment and imposing, yet popular works, such as the vast, fleshy and trumpet-like Marsyas, which filled the Tate's Turbine Hall as part of the Unilever Series, the giant reflecting, pod like sculpture Cloud Gate in Chicago's Millennium Park and his recent (2009) record breaking show at the Royal Academy, the most successful exhibition ever presented by a contemporary artist in London.
In 1979, Kapoor travelled to India, where his cultural memories were reawakened leading him to produce works using raw powdered pigment in vivid hues, materials which lent these works with a feeling of inner radiance and dematerialised objectivity. The bearing of Eastern and Western culture has been an inseparable part of Kapoor's practice ever since.
Kapoor became established in the international arena during the 1980s, with works that explored his interest in disparate materials and meditative structures. Kapoor has consistently used a wide range of materials in his practice to call into question the conventional limits of architecture and to deconstruct empirical spaces, by producing forms which open out and extending into invisible expanses. Such works address the corporeal and the infinite, leading the viewer to speculate upon origins and finality.
In recent years, Kapoor has produced works where the conventional dichotomy between surface and depth is collapsed. Many of his recent works achieve this immateriality on an immense scale. Kapoor continues to employ a seemingly alchemical process to establish a feeling of weightlessness on a grand scale through his skilled transformation of materials.
Anish Kapoor’s latest commission is to design the spectacular new public attraction for London 2012 Olympic Park entitled The ArcelorMittal Orbit. The Mayor of London Boris Johnson and the Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell agreed the commission in partnership with steel magnate Mr. Lakshmi Mittal. The breathtaking sculpture that will be 22m taller than the Statue of Liberty – thought to be the tallest in the UK - will consist of a continuous looping lattice of tubular steel.
