Anish Kapoor was born on 12th march 1954 in
Mumbai. An Indian born British sculptor, lived and
worked in London since the early 1970s when he moved to study art, first at the
Hornsey College of Art and later at the Chelsea School of Art and Design. Through out his carrier as a sculptor
he has received various prestigious awards in all area’s one common one was represented
Britain at the Venice Biennale, Example of his
work is exhibited in various countries such as the Cloud Gate in Chicago, and
many more. One of Anish Kapoor sculptures which has got my attention is the
Arcelor Mittal Orbit, which is 115-meter tall observation tower, which is
situated in the Olympic park in Stratford london.
The Olympic Games is near to
start, and it will be great to have different cultures and background coming to
see the Olympic games and at the same time have a look at the amazing
sculptures that London has and praise its designers. Anish
Kapoor became known in the 1980s for his geometric or biomorphic sculptures
made using simple elemental materials such as granite, limestone, marble,
pigment and plaster. That’s is what Kapoor is Famous for.
