Anish Kapoor's Intimate Exhibition at Lisson Gallery Milan
Anish Kapoor (Mumbai, 1954) presents an intimate exhibition at Lisson Gallery in Milan, running until July 22, 2016. The show features thirteen reflective steel sculptures at the entrance, creating a kaleidoscopic microcosm. These smaller-scale works interact to form a total artwork with elusive reflections and illusory glimpses, recalling the artist's signature optical tricks and 'non-objects'. On the terrace, a one-meter-tall metal sculpture resonates with the light play of the main hall. Downstairs, a pair of concave circular mirrors demonstrate Kapoor's ability to shape the immensity of the absolute. The exhibition marks a departure from his monumental installations, offering a more personal and rhythmic experience.
