Anish Kapoor in Milan

With 14 twisted stainless steel sculptures that create fluid reflections to dissipate or disrupt any stable imagery, Lisson Gallery Milan presents a solo exhibition of the British artist.

Anish Kapoor presents a new series of 14 stainless steel sculptures at the Lisson Gallery Milan. Shown together for the first time as an entire group, these small scale, abstract works contain different, “footprints” ranging from letters to geometric shapes.

The highly polished surfaces of the twist sculptures presented create fleeting, fluid reflections that dissipate or disrupt any stable imagery, denying viewers the certainty of either the form’s pre-twisted state, which may also be symbolic, scientific or spiritual. The artist has referred to similar bodies of work as “non-objects”, when the internal geometry and perfectly reflective material carry the conditions of their own disappearance.
