earlier this week el anatsui's gli (wall) exhibition opened at the rice gallery in houston, texas.
a native of ghana and resident of nigeria since 1975, el anatsui has experimented
throughout the years with a variety of media including wood, ceramics, and paint.
although anatsui was a respected artist and teacher in africa for more than thirty years,
he was little known internationally until ten years ago when he began creating dazzling
suspended sculptures made from liquor bottle tops and metal foil collars from
the bottle necks.
