1954年出生于印度孟买，是我们这个时代最具影响力的艺术家之一。自上世纪七十年代中期以来，他一直在伦敦生活和工作，如今在伦敦和威尼斯之间的家和工作室中度过时光。他自2003年以来一直由常青画廊代理。在其整个职业生涯中，这位当代艺术家对形状与虚空、视角、光与光的缺失等概念深感兴趣。卡普尔的创作横跨多个尺度，使用多种材料，如镜子、石头、蜡或PVC，不断探索几何和生物形态，同时对负空间表现出独特的兴趣。他解释道：“这正是我感兴趣的：虚空，那一刻它不是一个洞，而是充满了不存在的东西的空间。”

Born in Mumbai, India in 1954, he is one of the most influential artists of our time. He has lived and worked in London since the mid-seventies, and now divides his time between homes and studios in London and Venice. He has been represented by Galleria Continua since 2003. For the entire length of career, this contemporary artist has been fascinated with the notions of shape and void, perspective, light and the absence thereof. Kapoor, who works across numerous scales with diverse materials such as mirror, stone, wax or PVC, relentlessly explores geometric and biomorphic shapes while demonstrating a singular interest in negative space.“That’s what I am interested in: the void, the moment when this is not a hole, it is a space full of what isn’t there,”he explains.
His works are permanently exhibited in the most important collections and museums around the world from the Museum of Modern Art in New York to the Tate in London; the Prada Foundation in Milan and the Guggenheim Museums in Venice, Bilbao and Abu Dhabi. Recent solo exhibitions have been held at Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, Italy (2023), Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia and Palazzo Manfrin, Venice, Italy (2022), Modern Art Oxford, UK (2021); Houghton Hall, Norfolk, UK (2020); Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany (2020); Central Academy of Fine Arts Museum and Imperial Ancestral Temple, Beijing (2019); Fundación Proa, Buenos Aires (2019); Serralves, Museu de Arte Contemporanea, Porto, Portugal (2018); University Museum of Contemporary Art (MUAC), Mexico City (2016); Château de Versailles, France (2015); Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center, Moscow, (2015); Gropius Bau, Berlin (2013); Sakip Sabanci Muzesi, Istanbul (2013); Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney (2012).
