Eric Adjetey Anang

Eric Adjetey Anang One of my favorite parts about being an Art Student at Sacramento State is the opportunities I have had to work with and get to know visiting artist. Last year it was Shay Church this year it was Eric Adjetey Anang. (Artist Eric Adjetey Anang with student assistants Kojo Gaisie and Chris Duffy) Now this year I didn't get to work as closely on the project with Eric as I did with Shay but I will say this, I have never met a guy who smiles as much and seams as Jolly as Eric! Well Maby I have but even still, the dude is content, or somethin... just a really fun guy to be around and work with!  (Eric whering my dinosaur mask which is always a big hit with the next generation of Sculpture Students Chris's daughter Ameina Duffy)  (Jasmine with coffin) (Strange Dude (STRANGE ONE!!!))

Gun Show Artspace 1616 Artspace 1616 is a legit professional regional gallery, and I hope to show here one day. Many of the pieces here were untitled and did not have labels, it only dawns on me now that there was likely a catalog. (Robert Ortbal) The show was fresh original collaborative and bold, and it featured some of my favorite teachers and Ben Hunt of whom I also consider a teacher. (Ben Hunt) This piece had no label but I really liked it for a number of reasons. Basically I recognize Iggy Pop (the upside-down head) the color the design its use of plane, perspective, shadow.

(Ron Peetz) Ron Peetz was my high school teacher and was and is a great inspiration in my artistic life. This piece was shocking to me for a few reasons. First its realism its a gun on a desk not unlike the ones I used t...
