Surface Tension at FLAG Art Foundation
It’s always a treat to see work by Ghanaian artist El Anatsui, known for repurposing materials like printing plates and liquor bottle caps into beautiful abstract sculpture. This piece opens the show ‘Surface Tension’ at Chelsea’s FLAG Art Foundation, a timely selection of work by a multi-generational selection of artists who create dramatic tension on 2-D surfaces.
