About Marsyas

The artwork titled “Marsyas,” created by Anish Kapoor in 2002, falls under the Neo-Expressionism art movement and is categorized as a sculpture.

The artwork is a massive installation that dominates the interior space of the gallery, characterized by its expansive scale and bold use of color. Made primarily from a rich red material, the sculpture consists of three large, circular steel rings connected by a stretched membrane, creating a continuous, flowing form. The striking red fabric appears to twist and turn, generating a dynamic yet harmonious interplay of volume and void. The sculpture’s organic, curvilinear shapes contrast sharply with the geometric, industrial architecture of the gallery, making it a compelling and thought-provoking piece. “Marsyas” challenges traditional concepts of sculpture with its innovative use of space and form, inviting viewers to explore and engage with the work from multiple perspectives.
