It’s great to have a new tile from Jason Garcia.  Jason has won numerous awards for his works in clay along with his Pueblo Revolt serigraph series.  This piece is made from native clay, painted with native clay slips, and traditionally fired.  This piece is part of his  “Tewa Tales of Suspense” series.  Each piece is inspired by graphic novels, early comic book art, and the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.  The piece has Pajogeri 1680 as the date.  Meaning summer (in Tewa) 1680.  Jason takes on the Pueblo Revolt with a Pueblo Warrior holding a shield and sword.  In the background are the flames and the church, with the kiva and the white clouds.  The defeated Spanish are symbolized by the Conquistador helmet.  There is drama and power inherent in this piece!  The flames and clouds are always a signature to his pieces!  The coloration on this piece is striking with the clay showing through and the subtle sky.  The motion and power of this piece are exceptional.  His signature raincloud is in the upper right.  His piece is signed with his Tewa name, Okuu Pin, which means Turtle Mountain.
