Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor (born 1954 in Mumbai) is a British-Indian sculptor based in London. He moved to the United Kingdom in the early 1970s and studied at Hornsey College of Art and Chelsea School of Art. He first came to prominence in the early 1980s with sculptures covered in powdered pigment, and went on to explore the void through deep cavities and darkness, sculpted stone, and, from the mid-1990s, highly polished reflective surfaces in stainless steel. He represented Britain at the 1990 Venice Biennale, where he received the Premio Duemila, and won the Turner Prize in 1991. His major works include Marsyas at Tate Modern (2002), Cloud Gate in Chicago's Millennium Park (2006) and the ArcelorMittal Orbit in London (2012), and he has had major exhibitions at institutions including the Royal Academy of Arts, London, and the Palace of Versailles. He was knighted in 2013.

Yinka Shonibare

Yinka Shonibare

Yinka Shonibare CBE (born 1962 in London) is a British-Nigerian artist who grew up in Lagos and returned to London to study at the Byam Shaw School of Art and Goldsmiths College. Working across painting, sculpture, photography, film, installation and textile, he explores colonialism, postcolonialism and cultural identity, most famously through his use of brightly patterned Dutch wax fabric – a material whose history links Indonesia, the Netherlands and West Africa. He was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2004, and his Nelson's Ship in a Bottle was displayed on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2010. He was elected a Royal Academician in 2013 and appointed CBE in 2019.
