In this Focus presentation, October Gallery explores the oeuvre, practice and career of El Anatsui.
The Gallery will be showing metal works and a selection of prints created in collaboration with Factum Arte, Madrid.
El Anatsui is undoubtedly one of the most influential artists of the present time. Throughout his long career, El Anatsui has focused his many interests to examine a wide range of subjects. He has also explored an extraordinary variety of media from cement, ceramics 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.
