El Anatsui, A Ghanaian artist exhibits at
the National Museum of African Art
Christine Mullen Kreamer,
curator, National Museum of African Art
Wash, DC, March 6 - A native of Ghana who has been living in
Nigeria since 1975, El Anatsui is one of Africa’s leading
contemporary artists. He creates large-scale metal
tapestries and other sculptures from discarded metal
objects. “El Anatsui: Gawu” opens at the National Museum of
African Art March 12 and continues through Sept 7.
“El Anatsui: Gawu” features such objects as wrappers from
flattened metal liquor bottles, tops from food tins and
other discarded metals that are tied together to resemble
metallic weavings that simultaneously reflect the tradition
of Ghanaian strip cloths and the abstraction of modernist
paintings. Drawing from the aesthetic traditions of his
native Ghana and adopted Nigeria, as well as contemporary
Western forms of expression, El Anatsui creates works that
engage the cultural, social and economic histories of West
Africa. Through their associations, his metal fragments
provide a sharply critical commentary on the adverse effects
of globalization, consumerism and waste in contemporary West
Africa and beyond.
