The artist comes recommended by Kim Namjoon through his visit of Gathering Clouds exhibition which took place in Kukje Gallery in Seoul, South Korea (2023) and is perfect example of Kapoors approach to modern techniques and symbolic relationship between engeneering and art forms.

During his interview for Art21 he says:

Objects are never what they at first appear to be. We look at them mostly with love, hate, desire, revultion or whatever it is. There is always an conversation.

Anish Kapoor – Shadow

Part of the exhibition is represented by monolithic sculptures. These enrgineered geological artistic pieces are made from fibreglass, silicone, gauze and paint and there haunting presence in the otherwise white and open space of gallery draws you in.

Originally sculptured in 2017, Shadow shows fearless approach Kapoor has to his sculptures no matter the material, engeneering or science he desides to use making him one of the key representatives of modern sculpturing aiming to create feeling of wonder in the viewers using the power of geometry by exploring not the knowable but rather the unknowable.
