Another renowned father-figure of contemporary African art is El Anatsui from Ghana who creates large, installation sculptural pieces from bottle tops and cans and anything else he can salvage. As well as producing these monumental tapestry works he has sculpted with wood as a media for quite some decades.

Depicted here is one of his most simply carved, figural pieces integrated with a base of textured and decorated found wood.

El Anatsui ([ah-nah-ch-wee], born 1944) is a Ghanaiansculptor active for much of his career in Nigeria. He has drawn particular international attention for his "bottle-top installations". These installations consist of thousands of aluminum pieces sourced from alcohol recycling stations and sewn together with copper wire, which are then transformed into metallic cloth-like wall sculptures. Such materials, while seemingly stiff and sturdy, are actually free and flexible, which often helps with manipulation when installing his sculptures.
