| One of the most significant sculptors of his generation, Anish Kapoor titled this series “Kubi” after the headstreams of the Brahmaputra River, which is located in the Himalayan Mountains of southwestern Tibet. Red, the color the artist sees as most central to concepts of earth and body, is used liberally, drawing the eye to a central energy and out of the surrounding darkness. Here, the mysterious realm of darkness is rich and uniquely vibrant. Through its relationship to geography, this work investigates the interconnectivity and striking intricacy of nature. |
