SCAI THE BATHHOUSE presents a solo exhibition of work by UK-based, internationally active artist Anish Kapoor.
He represented the UK at the Venice Biennale in 1990, and was awarded the Turner Prize the following year, making him one of Britain's best-known contemporary artists. His innovative, unparalleled style constantly attracts attention, and his works have been shown in art museums around the world. The attraction of Kapoor's sculpture is that he uses extremely simple shapes and materials to form works with a cosmic broadness, transforming the exhibition venue into an altogether different space. The slightest swellings or curves in his works can seem to be holes that continue to unending depths. Mirror-like materials can reflect scenery at totally unexpected angles.
Built around a core of new works, this exhibition presents a concentrated essence of recent art by Kapoor, including a stone sculpture created in collaboration with a Japanese urushi lacquerware artist, and an "illusional" mirror work created from a combination of stainless steel parts.
