Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor has acquired exclusive rights to the revolutionary Vantablack pigment, touted as the blackest shade of black ever created. Developed by British company NanoSystems, Vantablack is composed of a series of microscopic vertical tubes. When light strikes Vantablack, it becomes trapped instead of bouncing off and is continually deflected between the tubes. Anish who designed the Orbit tower for the London Olympics is currently the only person in the world who can paint using this colour, and has been doing so since 2014.
