Anish Kapoor's Intimate Exhibition at Lisson Gallery Milan

exhibition · 2026-05-05

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.
