Yessssssss!<\/em> This is the ceramic work of LA based artist Alex Anderson<\/a> {and there he is, feeling full of gratitude at a show opening… with pink walls so you KNOW I love it!}<\/em>. Speaking of shows, most of the work posted above is from his solo show earlier this year, titled “Little Black Boy Makes Imperial Porcelains”<\/em><\/a> at GAVLAK Gallery, Los Angeles. Here’s part of the description:<\/p>\n

“At the core of Anderson\u2019s current body of work is a philosophical, existential examination of identity politics; based in Los Angeles, the 30-year old gay, Asian-African American sculptor is an artist working against stereotype and racialism rampant in today\u2019s society. By working in an unexpected medium and channeling methodologies surrounding artistic production in ceramic arts, Anderson manages to create fantastic, multifaceted sculptures that are both subversive and whimsical at the same time. Alex Anderson uses the classical aesthetics of western power, which ironically share space with the aesthetics of queer camp cultural production, to translate the structures that govern his lived experience in society and others\u2019 social perceptions of his identities into form. While his work engages with the ceramic canon and draws from the western art historical canon at large, it primarily operates at the core of Post-Blackness.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beautiful and powerful. Read the full statement right here.<\/a><\/p>\n
