Anish Kapoor: My Red Homeland

by Yehuda Safran, Thomas Zaunschirm, Eckhard Schneider

Anish Kapoor is one of the most influential sculptors of his generation. Kapoor sees his work as being engaged with deep-rooted metaphysical presence and absence, being and non-being, place and non-place, the solid and the intangible. Throughout Kapoor's sculptures his fascination with darkness and light is apparent; the translucent quality of the resin works, the absorbent nature of the pigment, the radiant glow of alabaster, and the fluid reflections of stainless steel and water. Through this interplay between form and light, Kapoor aspires to evoke sublime experiences, which address primal physical and psychological states. My Red Homeland presents a welcome retrospective view of Kapoor's work since the early 90s.

Modern art is always going to be rather a Marmite thing and suffice it to say I have never liked marmite!

Not to my taste but interesting nonetheless.
