Description
Inkjet pigment print with irregular hand-cut edges conforming to the image, printed and hand-cut and hand-sculpted aluminum collage, and copper wire.
Signed by the artist and numbered on the verso. Edition of 30.
Paper and Silver is made of paper, printed and hand-cut and hand-sculpted aluminium collage, and copper wire. In monochrome groupings of achromatic colors and strands of complex geometric scaffolding composed of vibrant red, yellow, gold, and blue, a dazzling array of formats and elements from the artist's bottle cap palette make up the composition of the artwork. Correspondingly varied in Paper and Silver is the aluminum collage; whereas the printed metal is flattened in some areas, it is folded and twisted and knotted in others.
Presentation
El Anatsui is a Ghanaian sculptor who has spent much of his achievement-packed career living and working in Nigeria. El Anatsui currently runs a very robust studio practice, situated in Nsukka, Enugu, Nigeria, and Tema, Ghana, where some of the most beautiful and touching works of art in the world today are created.
He is one of the most highly acclaimed artists in African History and foremost contemporary artists in the world.
El Anatsui uses resources typically discarded such as liquor bottle caps and cassava graters to create sculpture that defies categorisation.
His use of these materials reflects his interest in reuse, transformation, and an intrinsic desire to connect to his continent while transcending the limitations of place. His work can interrogate the history of colonialism and draw connections between consumption, waste, and the environment, but at the core is his unique formal language that distinguishes his practice.
