Across these lands,
Shrouded by mist galore,
Lies a castle tall and grand,
That you and I contrived.
I thought a stream of prose would flow -
Continuous, from its eternal source.
But as the clouds of thoughts grow sparse,
The words slowly disperse.
A barren canvas stretches on,
Waiting for a stroke,
For the paint that lends it life -
From void to vivid.

Artist Anish Kapoor's work was displayed at Delhi's National Gallery of Modern Art from November 28, 2010 to February 17, 2011. Along with his works, the gallery also showcased a film titled "Imagine: The Year of Anish Kapoor" that helped viewers to garner insight into how his work is conceived and what it it means to him.
Anish Kapoor's "To reflect an Intimate Part of the Red" (1981) was one of the works on display at the NGMA.

About the artist:
Raghava KK is a self-taught artist, born in Bangalore, India in 1980. His work has spanned genres as widely disparate as painting, sculpture, installation, film, performance, and even his own wedding.
