Kapoor is known for sculptural installations that create an environment in which the viewer's body and mind are transformed by the subtle power of color, shape, and light. His portfolio 15 Etchings provides a similar sensorial experience, with its sensual surfaces and rainbow of deep hues. Kapoor works with a minimalist vocabulary of clean lines and forms, even though the resulting installations are generally massive in size. Born in Bombay, Kapoor has lived in London since the 1970s. In 1991, he won the prestigious Turner Prize, the top award in England given to visual artists.

Described by the artist as an ‘interior landscape’, this suite of etchings alludes to both physical presence and psychological space. The etchings are printed using a combination of spitbite and aquatint processes, two opposing techniques in which the etched surface of the plate creates positive and negative forms respectively. The exploration of polarities; solid and intangible forms, positive and negative space, presence and absence; is evident in Kapoor’s sculpture at the time, such as Abstract Box, 1995, also included in the SLG collection. The artist explained: “I’ve moved towards an emptying out of the form, towards a vacant space. I’m trying to find that in these prints.”

Anish Kapoor
Born in India, Anish Kapoor has lived in England since the 1970s. Beginning in 1973, he studied in London at the Hornsey College of Art before going on to the Chelsea School of Art. After spending some time in India in 1979, Kapoor gained recognition on the international scene during the early 1980s.
"The void is not silent. I have always thought of it more and more as a transitional space, an in-between space,” Kapoor has said.
Since the early 1980s, Kapoor has not only produced some of the most innovative work in contemporary sculpture but has also done much to re-establish certain original sculpture forms. Although he is influenced by his cultural origins, the artist continues to incorporate new ideas into his work.
Born out of spiritual reflection, Kapoor's pieces strive to give form to the vital and opposing forces, as in his series of “Shadow Prints” — full/empty, material/spiritual, light/darkness, visible/invisible, aware/unaware, male/female, land/sea. Through a visual vocabulary that incorporates color pigments in particular as well as glass fiber and stainless steel, the artist has developed an ambitious body of work in sculpture and installation that at times approaches design and architecture.
Often displayed in public spaces, Kapoor’s sculptures are striking for their apparent simplicity. Yet his work is hard to overlook and has a hold on its audiences.
