Untitled 1989

Curator: Right now, we’re looking at Anish Kapoor’s “Untitled” work, held here at the Tate. Editor: My initial impression is this feels like stepping into a void. Or perhaps a very still, very dark lake at midnight. Curator: Kapoor's known for exploring the sublime, often using colour to evoke a sense of the infinite, or nothingness. What do you make of the colour field? Editor: The monochrome surface seems to absorb all light, challenging our perception of depth and space. There's almost a pull, an invitation to fall into it. I wonder, does the artist use this specific shade to represent feelings of loss? Curator: Colour, for Kapoor, is more than just pigment. It’s a doorway to emotional and spiritual realms. Editor: It's unsettling, certainly, but also quite meditative. I could stare at this for hours and still find something new to contemplate. Curator: Exactly, and perhaps that's the point. It’s a beginning to understand Kapoor's visual language.
