The artwork “Sky Mirror,” created by Anish Kapoor in 2001, epitomizes the Post-Minimalism art movement and falls within the genre of sculpture.
The artwork features a large, mirrored, concave disc that stands amidst a natural landscape, reflecting the sky above. By capturing and mirroring the surrounding environment, it creates an illusion of a framed fragment of the sky on the ground. The reflected clouds and sky change dynamically based on the time of day and weather conditions, thus making the sculpture appear different at various times. This characteristic invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between art and nature, and to observe the transient beauty of the sky. The sculpture’s polished surface and minimalist form contribute to its striking visual impact and conceptual depth.
