Marcus Amerman (Choctaw)
Working in a traditional media with an unexpected subject matter, Amerman transforms both with these meticulous mosaic style portraits of DC superhero icons. “Wonder Woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should, I believe, rule the world,” wrote William Moulton Marston, who created the stalwart Amazon in 1940.
Lisa Holt (Cochiti Pueblo)
Harlan Reano (Santo Domingo Pueblo)
Inspired by the Justice League cartoons — the super-powered team anchored by Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman — Lisa and Harlan have created a series of Pueblo superhero figurines. Using inspired graphic design painted on finely constructed clay figures, this dynamic duo of Pueblo pottery view these pieces as not out of place but following in the Cochiti figurative tradition of commenting on the world around them. Mysterious in its power and abilities, this Pueblo hero is ready for action.
Diego Romero (Cochiti Pueblo)
Presented here are the drawings that are the source material for the famed Diego Romero neo-Mimbres pottery pieces. Taking inspiration from the Marvel Comics of the 1960s, in particular those scripted by Stan Lee and drawn by Jack Kirby, Diego creates his ceramic pieces which speak of the history of the Pueblos and the struggles of today. The conquistador Don Diego de Vargas takes the place of Loki, the Norse trickster god in this drawing inspired by the splash page from The Avengers #1 from 1963.
Mateo Romero (Cochiti Pueblo)
Mateo Romero is a prominent painter in the Indian art world. Recognized for his photo transfer paintings and the Bonnie and Clyde series enveloped with social commentary and celebrations of Pueblo life ways, these two comic pages represent a heretofore unseen aspect of his work; a horror story using Native themes. Graphic, raw and unapologetic, this is a unique glimpse of an artist experimenting with form, narrative and style.
Rose Bean Simpson (Santa Clara Pueblo)
Objectification portrays distinctive elements of contemporary Pueblo Indian life in bold graphic terms. The allures and pressures of assimilation, tradition, creativity and companionship are portrayed with a human face reminding us that in our lives within and beyond boundaries, we find ourselves.
