Anish Kapoor
Winner of the Turner Prize in 1991, the Indian-born, London-dwelling sculptor Anish Kapoor is one of Britain's leading contemporary artists.
Typically Kapoor's pieces are simple organically curvaceous forms in single bright colours that evoke the pigments used in Indian markets and temples. Convex and concave elements trick the eye and the viewer often experiences a kind of illusion of depth.
His later pieces often utilise reflective metal and some - such as Cloud Gate - are massive in scale. Kapoor's works are often draw-droppingly beautiful, their very simplicity evoking awe and surprising complexities of thought.
