Contextual Research- Donald Judd, Anish Kapoor

Donald Judd
Colour Chart exhibition
I began to research was Donald Judd. I have an interest in colour and how it effects our perspective on a space. This is why I chose to look at Judds work. Even though he works in 3D using industrial materials, his use of colour completely transforms how we look at the piece. The sculpture above was part of the exhibition 'Colour Chart'. His minimal, geometric, hard edge style forces us to consider scale, shape and colour.
Untitled 1972
The metallic surface of his sculptures let light bounce of, another aspect of his work that appeals to me. His work has a functional quality, the simplicity and straightforward construction of his work makes me think of modern furniture.

Anish Kapoor
Anish Kapoors wax train, an enormos block of wax is pushed through the doorways of the gallery, to me, is completely striking, the intense red against the white of the gallery walls. The colour is what drew me in to this installation. Kapoor is obviously interested in the theme of war, the wax residue has a bloody, gruesome feeling.
