Paper and Silver-El Anatsui-1

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.

Art is a reflection on life. Life isn’t something we can cut and fix. It’s always in a state of flux.
