Folwell, Susan – “Buffalo Dancer” Tile (Davey)
12" x 7.25"
$ 1,500.00
This large tile by Susan Folwell creates an expressive design within the context of a classic Pueblo Dancer. The tile is inspired by a painting by Randall Davey which has a Pueblo Buffalo Dancer as the subject. Susan says of this piece:
“Interestingly, Randall Davey was not a member of the Taos Society of Artists but he worked in the Taos area. He only did a few paintings with Native subjects. This painting of the Buffalo Dancer just caught me! It has a very modern style in color and composition and especially the texture of the dancer. The paint on the body and the face..that’s what I wanted to capture! I managed that with a combination of colored wax and underglaze chalk which is fired into the piece. I then finished the tile to create more texture on the surface.”
The tile certainly has a mysterious and yet strong presence of the Pueblo dancer. It is signed on the back, “Susan Folwell”.
