CONTEMPORARY ART
El Anatsui
Sunday 14 February 5:30-6:30pm
Dr Nick Gordon
El Anatsui’s monumental sculptures fuse traditional African arts with abstraction. His most famous works appear from a distance to be richly textured fabrics draped on a wall, but on closer inspection reveal themselves to be made of thousands of aluminium bottle caps knitted together with copper wire. But his work is more diverse than these magnificent pieces. Get to know more about the artist and his team of collaborators, his work and how he has risen to become one of Africa’s most successful contemporary artists.
