Seldom does an artist truly master creating works that engage not only the public eye but also the spirit of an entire country, not to mention a continent. El Anatasui is one of these legendary artists that has integrated the scraps, dilapidation, and hope of a country into his work, which ranges in medium and tone. His suitcases evoke the angst of migration along with a snippet of playfulness, his ceramics made of scrap fragments inspire resilience, and his simple wooden sculptures embody a troublesome history.
The exhibition is up until January 6 at the Denver Art Museum, catch it while you can and plan to be taken back by the Artist's diverse splendor.
