EL ANATSUI!



El Anatsui is currently regarded highly in the art world today, his pieces are related to African hardships, and the denial of metal as a useful and expressive medium. El Anatsui used aluminum liquor caps, to create massive murals/sculptures leaving the art world to marvel at his works. I personally respect his art style, and love what he has done with the Sculpture/metal working medium.

Sculptures done by El Anatsui

Although I do not like the sculptures he has done, but I love the murals/quilts that he has created using the bottle caps. It will be interesting to see what his next move will be, and I will make sure to see his exhibit at the R.O.M. in Toronto later this year.
