El anatsui: Ink Splash II

This work is “Ink Splash II,” by El Anatsui made in 2012. I like how this work of art resembles ink splashes. I like how he encompasses and uses trash calling it found material. The use of recycled materials is very interesting and I like how incorporated the pop of yellow and blue. These colors help replicate the ink splash as in the title. It also creates a dynamic display, I found it interesting how in the video the artist said he doesn’t give instructions on how to display his art because he likes to see how they do it.  The artwork also creates a three dimensional display with almost a sense of motion. Overall, I found El Anatsui to be innovative and different.
