Eric Adjetey Anang (; born 1985) is a Ghanaian sculptor and fantasy coffin carpenter. He was born in Teshie, Ghana, where he lives and runs the Kane Kwei Carpentry Workshop. ==Biography== In 2001, he introduced Ghana design coffins at Gidan Makama Museum Kano, Nigeria, under the auspices of Alliance française in Kano. After completing his secondary school, he took over in 2005 the management of the studio that was established by Seth Kane Kwei, motivated by the ambition to "rise the name of his grand-father and see the world". 2009 marks the beginning of Eric Adjetey Anang's international career. He was, with his creations, featured in a television commercial for Aquarius (sports drink).〔(Storyboard Aquarius )〕 and collaborated with the Oregon College of Art & Craft, by organizing a two-month residence in Ghana for artist and Senior Lecturer Michael de Forest. In January 2010, Anang took part in the photographic project ''Please, do not move !'' with the French photographer Guy Hersant. At the end of the same year, he was invited to the Black World Festival in Dakar as representative of designers from Ghana.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=L’artiste ghanéen Eric Anang expose ses cercueils de fantaisie à Dakar )〕 Eric Adjetey Anang is also involved in anthropological research related to Ga people with Roberta Bonetti, an affiliate professor in History of Anthropology at University of Bologna and Fellow at Italian Academy for Advanced Studies, Columbia University.〔http://www.columbia.edu/cu/archaeology/events/main/columbia_conf/archives.html〕 At the age of 24, Eric Adjetey Anang was acknowledged as "a model for African urban youths" by the French newspaper ''Le Monde diplomatique''. Within a few years, Eric Adjetey Anang has become, as a coffin maker, one of Ghana's leading contemporary artists, recognised both locally and internationally. The role of both families ordering coffins for their relatives and some travel agencies which include the visit of his workshop〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Exotic Coffins Ghana - Easy Track Ghana )〕 in their packages played a critical role in the local recognition of his talent, and helped to attract interest of cultural institutions established in Ghana. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eric Adjetey Anang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
