Anish Kapoor



An amazing exhibition at the Royal Academy in London - so pleased to have found some tickets for its penultimate day as it finishes on the 11th December. The sheer scale of the pieces was awesome, the creative mind behind this inpiring. Each work could have so many interpretations and meanings: the 'Svayambh' was an installation of a 30 ton vast block of red wax, slowly moving through five galleries along tracks at such a slow pace - the most obvious parallel was an underground train moving through tunnels- the red wax symbolising blood and suicides - but who knows?  My favourite was 'Yellow' - so simple, yet so strong.

    I was at a talk by a Andy Sturgeon last night who mentioned Anish Kapoor's sculptures as the inspiration for one of his well-known water features.

    Feeling very peeved that I missed the opportunity to go to this exhibition. I find Anish Kapoor's work fascinating. I do hope he has an exhibition in this country again soon. I'll be the first in line to get tickets!
