Anish Kapoor Stevey Paris say’s - 5 star Until Fri Dec 11 2009 Royal Academy of Arts, Piccadilly, London, W1J OBD Only running until 11th December, this is an exhibition that is not to be missed! With its bright colours, seductive shapes and breathtaking sculptures, contemporary artist Anish Kapoor has managed to brilliantly wreck the Royal Academy. With sculptures old and new installed everywhere, it’s hard not to think that the place is in disarray. Disarray though full of creativity, fearlessness and imagination. The exhibition takes you on an epic journey through Kapoor’s influences and fearless mind giving inspiration and ambition to those around him. Kapoor is my most favoured 3D artist’s and going by this exhibition, my views have certainly not changed! Prices £12; £10 disabled and 60+; £8 NUS/ISIC; £4 12-18 year-olds and income support; £3 8-11 year-olds; under-7s free

DECEMBER 2009
This is an exhibition which shocked me just as much as it did the rest of the media world, by not including video art! Marking its 25th anniversary, you would have thought that media would have been involved in some way as it is a contemporary art form which most people engage with daily. With competitive art work from Lucy Skaer, Richard Wright, Enrico David and Roger Hiorns it’s a visual experience that’s beyond simplicity yet very intriguing. With four different forms and concepts of art it’s quite hard to pick a winner, personally i still can’t make up my mind, definitely an exhibition that is worth seeing.
