El Anatsui (/ɛlˌænətˈsuːi/; born 4 February 1944)[1][2][3] is a Ghanaian sculptor 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.[4][5]
Anatsui was included in the 2023 Time 100 list of the world's most influential people.[6]
