FOCUS ON EL ANATSUI

El Anatsui is undoubtedly one of the most influential artists of the present time. Throughout his long career, Anatsui has explored a wide range of subjects. He has also utilised an extraordinary range of media, from clay, cement and tropical hardwoods in his early years, to corrugated iron, cassava graters, milk-tin lids and aluminium bottle-tops in his later installations. Today, he is best known for his mesmerising works composed of many thousands of aluminium bottle-tops stitched together with copper wire.
Triumphant Scale, a major survey exhibition of the artist's work, curated by Okwui Enwezor and Chika Okeke-Agulu, is currently being shown at Kunstmuseum Bern, Switzerland, until 1st November 2020.
