“White Sand, Red Millet, Many Flowers” is an installation artwork created by Anish Kapoor in 1982, associated with the Neo-Expressionism art movement. The artwork features piles of vividly colored materials arranged in distinct forms that evoke organic and geological shapes.
In this striking installation, Anish Kapoor employs materials of varied colors and textures to construct a visually compelling scene. At the center, a large cone-like structure made of red millet stands prominently, with its sharp, peak-like projections creating an imposing presence. To one side, two smaller, rounded mounds of yellow represent a contrasting, yet harmonious element. Another noticeable feature is a black mound, which appears to be smoother and more compact than its red and yellow counterparts. The arrangement of these elements on a plain, light-hued floor creates a stark contrast, emphasizing each structure’s form and color. The artwork evokes a sense of natural phenomena, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of forms, colors, and materials within a shared space.
