$ 1,800.00

Jason Garcia has a unique ability to combine Comic book and Pueblo imagery on his pottery.  This jar is coil built and painted with native clay slips.  The design starts with his father reading one of the “Tewa Tales of Suspense” comic books.  In the background is the kiva ladder and the rain clouds.  As the jar is turned there is imagery of Thor and Loki.  The figures are then re-imagined with the two Pueblo warriors in then next section. Note the complexity of the painting on the figures,t he ground and the clouds!  Jason fills his work with such fascinating symbolism and relevance to his own family life.   All the colors are derived from natural clay slips and the jar has been traditionally fired.  Jason manages to bring together so many aspects of Pueblo art and culture, it keeps his work fresh and relevant!
