Pinchuk Art Centre Sculpture

Created by British-Indian artist Anish Kapoor for the PinchukArtCentre in Kyiv, Ukraine, this sculptural installation features a large, rounded steel form with a complex curved surface. Its distinctive shape combines artistic expression with the technical precision required to transform individually formed steel plates into a continuous structure.

The sculpture was developed using 65 steel skin plates, each 8 mm thick, supported by an internal steel framework. With approximately 106 m² of steel surface and a total weight of around 11 tonnes, the structure required detailed engineering and careful coordination throughout production and assembly.

CIG contributed to the realization of the sculpture through 3D modeling, structural calculations, workshop drawings, steel plate cutting, and 3D forming. Our scope also included fabrication of the supporting framework, prefabrication and trial assembly of the sculpture, and surface preparation for its final finish. The components were subsequently transported to Kyiv, where our team was responsible for assembly inside the PinchukArtCentre.
