1. Hippo
Omary Amonde 1940-2015, Nkakpanya
This is the first work the viewer encounters when
walking into the Indigo exhibition, “Tinga Tinga
Today”. It gives an idea as to what the exhibition
is about and wha the view can expect.

2. Big Teeth
Amaounou (Jamcel, Hatiti). This mask paper mache
mask captures the essence of Caribbean Carnival;
exaggerated, fun, and over the top. I identified with
this piece a lot because I’m also West Indian. The
bright colors, layered material and structure gives
the view a glimpse of the Carnival culture.

4. Redneck Jones
Shawn Crooshank
This piece took up the most of the wall that is sat on. The gesture strokes of the brush
give a sense of urgency and the eyes bounce back and forth over the painting. The
color also heightens the senses; bright red gives off an urgent atmosphere and the
stark black outlines give off a sense of defiance. Although the name Redneck Jones
is curious. This might even be a portrait of sorts.

5. La Baie
Kathleen Shaver
This piece was part of “The Structure of Chaos”
collection by Kathleen Shaver. It was part of a row of
the their works lining the main hallway in the Cranes
Arts building. The hallway lights were dim which served
to the overall mood of the collection. This work in
particular seemed illuminated by the lights due to the
thick patches of light colors, especially in the middle.
