Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor (b. 1954, Mumbai) is an Indian-born British sculptor whose work explores form, void, materiality, and perception on a monumental scale. He studied at Hornsey College of Art and Chelsea School of Art in London and has been based in Britain since the 1970s. He represented Britain at the 1990 Venice Biennale and was awarded the Turner Prize in 1991.

Kapoor's sculptures are often characterized by highly polished concave and convex surfaces that distort and absorb their surroundings, or by deep voids and organic biomorphic forms that create a powerful sense of absence.
