Artfully Wednesday: El Anatsui

by Sophia B.


We all need to look at something beautiful every once in a while--a budding flower, a beautiful blue sky (or even a dramatic grey sky), art. This past weekend my friend and I went to the Brooklyn Museum to check out an exhibition by Ghanian artist El Anatsui.

Grace and Gravity showcases Anatsui's monumental installations made from found [metal] items, such as bottle caps and can tops, which from afar coalesce into a luxurious tapestry of metal, light and texture.
