“Inwendig Volle Figur,” created by Anish Kapoor in 2006, is a remarkable sculpture associated with the art movements of Neo-Expressionism and Post-Minimalism. This artwork exemplifies Kapoor’s profound ability to challenge perceptions and evoke emotional introspection through his sculptural forms.
The artwork presents an imposing, large-scale sculpture characterized by its smooth, glossy red surface. Its form is undeniably striking, invoking a sense of both simplicity and complexity. The sculpture features a cylindrical central body that seamlessly transitions into an expansive, circular base with a pronounced concavity, giving an impression of an infinite internal void. The curvature and reflective surface create dynamic interactions with the surrounding light and space, challenging the viewer’s spatial orientation and perception. The minimalist yet evocative design resonates with both the emotional intensity of Neo-Expressionism and the reductive aesthetics of Post-Minimalism.
