Sky Mirror 2009, Stainless steel 270 cm diameter
Non Object (Spire) 2008, Stainles steel 302 * 300 * 300 cm
C-Curve 2007, Stainless Steel 220 * 770* 300 cm
I was glad to hear that I could meet Anish Kpoors large scale outdoor sculpture in Kensington Garden. The giant curved mirror surface reflect and contrast of the changing surrounding views. I was hugely impressed by the shape, materials, scale and setting of his sculptures. Especially, the placing of the sculptures in the park was really critical. His four different types of artworks are sited on four different condition of the park.
Sky Mirror, which measures 10 metres in diameter, has been placed on the side of a lake where a Henry Moore sculpture once sat.
Sky Mirror (Red) can be seen above The Round Pond with Kensington Palace as its backdrop and is the first time Kapoor has put one of his works in water.
Non-Object (Spire) is almost hidden under the trees while the viewer sees a distorted reflection of themselves in C-Curve.
I found the fact that Kapoor came to the park a lot and spent many weekends thinking about where to place them. I suppose he took proper decisions for his arts, and made Kensington Garden be more beautiful and active.
