El Anatsui: Trains of Thought at Jack Shainman Gallery
Using materials such as liquor bottle caps, printing plates, and copper wires, El Anatsui creates elegant structures that look awe-inspiring and weightless all at once. At Jack Shainman, his new wall pieces and a three-dimensional structure elevate and highlight the artist’s relationship with metal.
