Lewis, Eric – “Diligent” Bee Design Jar

7"w x 8.25"h

$ 650.00

This is a classic-style tall water jar by Eric Lewis.  It has a high shoulder and a short neck. The jar is fully painted and there is a stylized bee on one side.  He has painted it with the use of white negative space to create the body and wings.  The opposite side has a graphic that is an angular version of the bee. The surrounding areas are angular lightning and wind graphics.  The strong graphics on Eric’s pottery give them a modernist appearance. However, look closer and you can see a variety of traditional designs that he has used for the designs that are all based on traditional Acoma patterns. The jar is signed on the bottom, “Eric Lewis 2021”.
