Pigment print in colors with irregular hand-cut edges, with printed, hand-cut and hand-sculpted aluminum collage and copper wire, on wove paper -
Signed, dated and numbered in pencil on a label affixed to the reverse - ,Published by Benefit Print Project, New York
Black & Silver by El Anatsui is a pigment print with hand-sculpted aluminum collage and copper wire, created in 2018. This intricate piece features an array of colorful, crumpled metallic fragments meticulously assembled to form a textured, tapestry-like surface. The colors—dominated by silver, black, red, and yellow—interplay to create a dynamic visual experience that appears both chaotic and harmonious. Known for his innovative use of recycled materials, Anatsui transforms discarded elements into evocative art, highlighting themes of environmental consciousness, consumerism, and the beauty found in repurposing. The organic shape and irregular edges enhance the artwork’s naturalistic, almost geological quality.
