Johnathan Naranjo #062509

$400.00

This is one of Jonathan’s pieces when you see it, the immediate reaction is “exquisite!” Hand coiled, and fired to a chocolate brown, the incising is superb. Very round in shape, the two foxes fit the seed bowl beautifully. One fox is standing in such a way that it looks like he is staring right at us the other one, is outstretched in a jumping motion. Surrounding the animals are delicate leaves, falling from the sky. Made in 2017, this is a terrific miniature by Johnathan. It is signed “Johnathan Naranjo ‘17” on the bottom.

Johnathan Naranjo

Johnathan Naranjo was born in 1987. He is the son of well-known potter, Forrest Naranjo, and grandson of Bernice Naranjo. Even though he has been working only a few years he is clearly excelling in the family tradition of hand coiling and incising brown polished pottery. Born into Santa Clara Pueblo in 1987, He began working with clay early in life and has now developed his own distinctive style. He specifically works on getting a dark brown finished pot rather than the usual black. His sgraffito work adds a mix of both contemporary and traditional designs. In 2013 Johnathan won the Tony Da Award at the Santa Fe Indian Market for his intricate and innovative style of pottery.
