Sir Anish Kapoor holds the rare status of an artist both revered by critics and enjoyed by the rest of us.

He came to the UK from Mumbai in the early 1970s and since then he's won the Turner Prize, represented Britain at the Venice Biennale and was the first living artist to take over the Royal Academy, with a record-breaking blockbuster show.

Primarily known for his sculpture - whether it's 'Orbit', erected in 2012 and towering over London's Olympic Park, or Cloud Gate, affectionately known as the Bean, in Chicago - Kapoor says he's always been a painter. 

Now, he's launching a series of paintings, created before and during the coronavirus pandemic, at London's Lisson Gallery. 

Newsnight’s Katie Razzall met with Sir Anish Kapoor at his studio in south London.
