Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor’s “Ascension” at Venice Biennale 2011 is the greatest graceful and lyrical monumental work for me. The work, a wisp of smoke ascending from the floor to the ceiling of the Basilica di San Giorgio, an ancient church set apart on its own island, emphasizes the "immaterial becoming object", according to the artist. Quiet and gentle like a dream, the author arranges lightly and gracefully laminar streams of air in ascending slender and clean energy flow, surrounding it with light and smooth turbulence. The transition from the soft curving mirror reflections of the surrounding world, in his other yet material works, to this work, ascending to the pure consciousness, is like a lesson taught in mental purity. 

Simple. Lucid and unequivocal.

See how the wave of emotions and the whirls born by them blur clarity.
