Rehearsal, 2017
"I was playing with this idea of a 'fabric' as something that's not fixed. The folds in the material have their own way of running - I don't create them - they happen naturally, by themselves. The amazing thing about working with these 'fabrics' is that every time you display one of them it becomes an entirely new work of art." - El Anatsui.
More dazzling beauties from artist El Anatsui in his ongoing series of shimmering metallic 'cloths' created from the humblest of recycled materials - bottle tops - which warp and buckle like organic sculptures on the October Gallery walls. They are dynamic in their impact through their colourful, disruptive pattern designs. So pleased to have caught this show before it closes today.
