Anish Kapoor

Yellow, Fiberglass and pigment, 6 x 6 x 3m, Royal Academy of Arts,London, Photography: Dave Morgan

This is a solo exhibition by the London-based Indian artist Anish Kapoor in Royal Academy of Arts which left a deep impression on my mind. Colors are being stuff in Kapoor’s installations, he worked with color in different ways and also created gallary's space as a part of his work, giving it a form.

Some of Kapoor’s installation were on a very huge scale such as ‘ Yellow’. It is a concavity which setting into the wall and I had an urge to look closer. people were aroused to put hands into it so that they can identify it is not an illusion. From the perspective of the viewer a sensation of color that we staring at is really singular, it conveyed illusion possibilities of the space. he has said: “trying to hold things to a certain stillness… so that somehow one is forced to slow down enough, to look, to measure with perhaps a little uncertainty in the eye, so that you have to put your hand out to affirm that what you are looking at is really there.”

Shooting into the Corner is the most debatable artwork in the exhibition from my point of view. Although it attracted large numbers of viewers wait for the shooting. Some of them couldn't restrain their laughter after watched it. it looks like a performance but in the grand and serious gallery of Royal Academy of Arts. He produced a great deal of expectation, everyone waiting for something happened, waiting for interesting thing occur. Otherwise someone believe that there is no talent or skill involved, it is a waste of Time, Money and Effort.

Most of his pieces displayed the idea onto a big stage, Kapoor delights in challenging perceptual experiences. It reminds me somehow forced to guide the observers inside my works, somehow engage viewers find the space for themselves. we have the message to give, make it a form to let it occur. then testing how it achieve all that we expected.
