In terms of scale, texture and color I have never really seen an artists work that matches that of Anish Kapoor. Ranging form small gallery wall installations to immense building size objects his work exists on many levels. While often using his trademark red Kapoor also explores reflection as well as solid color. Several large scale mirror projects can be seen in NYC as well as Chicago. In these projects not only does he take into account the art object itself but also the surroundings as they are just as much a part of the piece. Perfect placement and angle of the mirrors allows for an alternative view of the cities through the piece or art itself. Essentially manufacturing and positioning a canvas and allowing the city itself to do the rest.
In addition to the mirrored pieces Kapoor also has more gallery oriented pieces that explore the very nature of color and texture. Playing off of stark contrast, often between smooth gallery white and blood red he creates again creates a dialogue between the piece itself and the gallery. Objects that seem oddly placed, often causing the viewer to imagine how or what created the form in the first place.
