Works on paper by Anish Kapoor

“A milestone in the history of British and global contemporary art,” “one of the most influential sculptors of his generation:” many are the attempts to define Anish Kapoor. Famous for his public interventions, ingenious creations that surprise with their form and effect, Kapoor works with different materials: stretched or apparently deflated PVC, concave or convex mirrors whose reflections attract and swallow the observer, pigments that make a stone disappear. Voids and protrusions that evoke metaphysical polarities such as presence and absence, concealment and revelation. This time, however, for his first solo show at the Lisson Gallery in Shanghai, Anish Kapoor will debut a new series of paintings on paper. The exhibition follows Kapoor’s highly acclaimed double retrospective at the Gallerie dell’Accademia and Palazzo Manfrin in Venice in 2022 and the exhibition at Lisson New York in autumn 2023.
