My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis.
Anish Kapoor

One can hardly be Indian and not know that almost every accent, which hand you eat your food with, has some deeper symbolic truth, reality.
Anish Kapoor

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

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

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

One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer.
Anish Kapoor

One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist.
Anish Kapoor

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

Re-investing in one's own little moments of insight is very important.
Anish Kapoor

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

Red, of course, is the colour of the interior of our bodies. In a way it's inside out, red.
Anish Kapoor

Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
Anish Kapoor

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

The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately.
Anish Kapoor

The idea is that the object has a language unto itself.
Anish Kapoor

The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story.
Anish Kapoor

There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.
Anish Kapoor

We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.
Anish Kapoor

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

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
