Anish Kapoor Budo

Anish Kapoor Budo

Budo, which describes the colour of the present work in Japanese, is one of Anish Kapoor's most recent incantations to the poetic mystery and power of void. Immaculately made from carved wood sumptuously covered in a radiant burgundy lacquer, it is a work whose luscious and rich sense of its own skin and surface is used to seduce the viewer, with its deep colour and glass-like light-reflective surface, into a confrontation with the vertiginous void at its centre.

'The idea, is ultimately, to make an object which is not an object, to make a hole in the space, to make something which actually does not exist.'

Anish Kapoor
