Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor was born in Mumbai, India, in 1954 and moved to England in 1972. He studied at two outstanding, famous art schools in London, before starting out as a sculptor. Kapoor soon became well known because of his particular style, which, in his early works, involved the clever use of monochrome and brightly – colored pigments surrounding the sculpture. Although he is mainly resident in London, he often visits India, and Western and Eastern styles influence his work. It is said that his use of color is strongly influenced by the heaps of colored spices and powders found in Indian markets. Kapoor’s later works are often very large.In fact, his 110 – ton Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago is amongst the largest in the world. This sculpture is forged from a series of highly – polished stainless steel “plate” that create an arched, highly – reflective work with Chicago’s skyline and Millennium Park in the background. Nowadays, Kapoor works on subway design in Italy and his work is becoming a mixture of art and architecture. 

Antony Gormley

Antony Gormley was born in 1950 in Hampstead, England, and, like Kapoor, is famous for his very large sculptures. He studied at Cambridge from 1968 to 1971 before travelling to India and Sri Lanka to study Buddhism until 1974. On his return he studied in a number of colleges in London. His work mainly focuses on the human body and he uses his own body creatively to form metal casts for his sculptures. One of his best-known sculptures is “The Angel of the North”, an enormous metal figure, huge, fully – extended wings.Another striking sculpture is “Asian Field”, installed in Sydney in 2006. It has 180,000 small brown clay figurines crafted by 350 Chinese villagers in five days from 100 tons of red clay. The installation is reminiscent of the terracotta warriors of Xian, China.

Yoko Ono

Yoko Ono, who once said “everybody’s an artist”, was born in 1933 in Tokyo, Japan. She has mainly been active as a sculptor, artist and film maker since 1961. Moreover, she uses all these genres in her work, often mixing art with poetry and music. However, she is probably most famous for her marriage to John Lennon, of the Beatles. In 1954, at the end of World War Two, she had to hide with her family when Tokyo was fire–bombed. Although she came from a rich, aristocratic family, she had to pawn her mother’s property to obtain rice when Japan surrendered and everyone suffered from poverty. She moved with her family to New York when she was 18. She went to college but dropped out after two years. Her artistic work has frequently been criticized.Indeed, Brian Sewell, a traditional art critic, said, “she’s shaped nothing, she’s contributed nothing, she’s simply been a reflection of the times…” There is certainly disagreement with Sewell’s view nowadays. In 2001, her show YES YOKO ONO received an international award.
