Randy Abeka Abbam "My exhibitions so far have been at school where I was nicknamed 'Spider,' the king of webs." "My name is Randy Abeka Abbam (RAA), popularly known as 'Spider.' I was born on March 6, 1985 in eastern Ghana, but started my basic education in Nigeria, where I discovered my talent in art at that early age. I was later brought back to Ghana in 1993. I'm currently a second-year student majoring in art and design. "As a young artist, I do not limit myself to my medium, but always experiment with the local tools and materials that I find in my environment. I produce works that range from abstracts to semi-abstracts and sometimes realism. During my first year in art school, I realized that thread on board is very unique. This medium has now dominated most of my works. I take my inspiration from God and nature, and also from the cultural heritage of my people. My exhibitions so far have been at school where I was nicknamed 'Spider,' the king of webs. I have sold many works to local galleries, companies and individuals. One of my innermost dreams is to hold exhibitions of my own both at home and abroad. I have passion for art and I'm proud to be an artist." |

We just received two pieces of art from Randy Abeka Abbam. We are absolutely delighted with the detail and beauty of the pieces. I plan on adding to the collection! They are my favorites...thank you! - K Tober, Coto de Caza, CA USA Such beautiful craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us - Sandra, Canada Purchased the thread-work, "in harmony". It was shipped to my office and when I showed it to my co-workers, many wanted to buy it right on the spot. Naturally I said no! It is now prominently displayed in my entrance hallway and never fails to get a comment. Especially when guests realize it is thread-work! - Mark, Louisiana USA I absolutely love the string art that I received the other day. You have a great talent and I wish you well in school and also on your exhibitions. I plan to buy some more of your beautiful art work. - Diane, Georgetown, Texas USA |
