Anish Kapoor is very interested in female genitalias. In his new exhibition, they’re everywhere. He is surely a man that had read Freud. But female genitalia is not the only source of his art. He is also fascinated whit big objects, and because of that his installations are really huge. Taratantara project at Gateshead’s Baltic Flour Mills, was 35 metres tall. He made also his massive PVC earphone, Marsyas. His biggist “sculpture“ is 50m high, Temenos is installation in the Tees Valley. This instalation is included as a part of biggest public art initiative in the world. As you can see, size is really essential for Anish Kapoor.

Actually, his exhibition is not so “big“. His exhibition can be described like a Legoland version of Anish world, it is place in which huge mirrors are set in city squares, and they reflecting everything around them, for example sky and constructions, and his specfic is to make people to think about the world they live in.

Anish Kapoor is really good man, he have a dream and idea, and that is really important in art. He trys to express him self and the way that he see the world. He have glary eyes, the smiley face and a little rounded body, but what is the most important he is the man who is facinated by size. He has left his trace in many galleries and landscapes around the world. He has represented Britain in the Venice Biennale and won the Turner Prize. He has also worke in New York and Bilbao, but he can’t be stopped. He wants some more. He wants to build more and more installations. On question “WHY“, this is his answer: “I want to occupy the territory!”
But, he doesn’t want just to build massive and huge installation, but what is more importatnt to him is corelation between size and meaning. He thinks also that the forces of instalations or sculptures are same ones as the forces of nature. He also says that sculptures have this ability to be what they are not. It’s kind of about the illusory and the real. The another reason why he like huge stuff is this:“I though when I was a child I imagined God as a huge jellybean and I’d love to“!
On question what is the purpose of the art he says:”I’ve long been of the view that the art world needs a little jolt to bring us back to what’s real.“
