Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor represented Britain in Venice in 1991 he won the preturner award in 1991, he was also sponsored by the Tate gallery.

He had a record breaking exhibition in the haward gallery in london, lisson group-kapoor was a member of this group becasue they all exhibit at the lisson gallery.

They were breaking new ground and working in ways that have never been done before.

Tony grad was making sculptures out of small fragments, and kapoor was using shapes that have never been seen in Britain previously.

He covered his sculptures in coloured powdered pigments that gave the work a lightness that constrasted the heavy metal.

Kapoor brought a breath of fresh air to british sculpture through his use of materials.

Kapoor was the lightest in his approach to sculpture and was mainly known for producing beautiful pieces of work.

Its not often scupltures use color so frequently as he did, he uses the most natural pigments which are as pure as they come, hes a realest and painter.

The majority of his work is about form and shapes, and the illusions in colour, there are some idian influences in his work he carried over the different shapes and food colouring from the indian markets.

Colours such as yellow and red were based on the indian on the indian spices, you could say the indian market had a integral impact on kapoors work.

Kapoors sculptures which demonstrates his example work, make it look as if its a actual picture, when its really just a big illusion.
