Selected works from Indian/ UK-based Anish Kapoor, who works with pure colour pigments, wax and fibre, and US-american James Turrell, known for his immaterial installations “from” natural and artificial light.

Both artists’ sculptures are often impressive just through their physical dimensions, and their geometric simplicity and beauty.
Each of them in a particular way, both Turrell and Kapoor apply a confusion of inside and outside, material and illusion, plasticity and flatness to manipulate our visual perception. Also, the spiritual dimensions of both these sculptors are fascinating to discover.

James Turrell: Catso, Red (1967-1994)
What appears to be a red cube in the corner of the gallery is a red square of light projected diagonally across the room. “It’s very important to me that you see it one way at first, and then it reveals itself as something else. Then you go back again and see it the initial way again.”

James Turrell: Danaë (1983)
When the viewer enters Danaë, the glowing purple rectangle at the far end of the room appears to be a solid form. In fact, it is a cutout in the wall, back-lit with ultraviolet light.

Anish Kapoor: Untitled (1998)

James Turrell: Gard Blue (1968-2002)
This work is a Cross-Corner Projection piece, part of a series of some of the earliest light works that Turrell made. This work uses a projector to create light in a shape that seems to have weight and mass.
