Anish Kapoor Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von Anish Kapoor:

Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.

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

Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.

Anish Kapoor

It's precisely in those moments when I don't know what to do, boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities to either get somewhere or not get anywhere.

Anish Kapoor

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

Anish Kapoor

It's the role of the artist to pursue content.

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

I, in the end, make art for myself.

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

I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work.

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

Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.

Anish Kapoor

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

Anish Kapoor

Content arises out of certain considerations about form, material, context-and that when that subject matter is sufficiently far away.

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

I feel there's everything to do yet.

Anish Kapoor

Maybe the way we have learned to look has changed in the last 25 years, and the exotic is much more acceptable. There are many artists now, younger artists, who work out of the exotic.

Anish Kapoor

A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already.

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

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

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

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

Anish Kapoor

I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.

Anish Kapoor

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

Anish Kapoor

Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.

Anish Kapoor

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

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

Being an artist is a very long game. It is not a 10-year game. I hope I'll be around making art when I'm 80.

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

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

Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments.

Anish Kapoor

I've nothing to say.

Anish Kapoor

I think I understand something about space. I think the job of a sculptor is spatial as much as it is to do with form.

Anish Kapoor

I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist.

Anish Kapoor

My first show sold within the first 3 minutes, and I came back to the studio and spent the next two and a half years making almost nothing.

Anish Kapoor

You know that day after day of, Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going.
