El Anatsui


El Anatsui, a well known Ghanaian sculptor, was born in the year 1944. He took a liking to art and taught at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 1995.

El Anatsui has a wide variety of of art, but likes to stick to traditional ones. He has some art pieces that are based off of clothing in africa. He uses materials he finds such as bottle caps, scrap metal, wood, and clay. The majority of his work is very large in size. His work allows people to see it how they would like to.He uses other objects to make smaller ones show their best side, what i mean is that he combines different parts to make 1 part. I personaly amd not a fan of his art, i am more into people drawing how they feel.
