[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
First let me displace anyones fears, this is not a UFO, but another sculpture by Turner prize winning artist Anish Kapoor being appreciated by the Chatsworth garden visitors. This piece entitled 'Sky Mirror' was exhibited in the gardens of Chatsworth House for a Sothebys selling exhibition held between 8th September - 27th October '06. This exhibition features pieces by Salvador Dali, Damien Hirst & Robert Indiana to name but a few.

Anish's pieces are frequently simple, curved forms, usually monochromatic and brightly coloured. Most often, the intention is to engage the viewer, evoking mystery through the works' dark cavities, awe through their size and simple beauty, tactility through their inviting surfaces and fascination through their reflective facades. His early pieces rely on powder pigment to cover the works and the floor around them. This practice was inspired by the mounds of brightly coloured pigment in the markets and temples of India. His later works are made of solid, quarried stone, many of which have carved apertures and cavities, often alluding to, and playing with, dualities (earth-sky, matter-spirit, lightness-darkness, visible-invisible, conscious-unconscious, male-female and body-mind). His most recent works are mirror-like, reflecting or distorting the viewer and surroundings.

Cool picture, I thought you photoshopped that in at first but I guess it's real. I like how the people are standing, they seem bewildered. Good shadows too.

  • Great
