Steve Lucas #020410

$2,800.00

Steve came to Denver to hand deliver this piece and I was incredibly thrilled to receive it. This is hand coiled, slipped, painted with all natural pigments and fired outdoors. The polychrome painting (black, white, red) is marvelous. His work is traditional and creative. He coils such dynamic forms and shapes. The designs are based on shards he saw at the Grand Canyon. The Nampeyo birds are magnificently portrayed. Steve used mixed clays with a touch of mica. The border has rain clouds and lightning designs. What ia particularly terrific is the balance of the deep red tones. The red in the birds is seen again on the base of the bowl. He really is a master painter. Steve signed this piece: S. Lucas with a corn plant and a koyemsi (mudhead clown: Steve is a member of the Koyemsi clan) symbol.

Steve Lucas

Hopi-Tewa

Bearing the Hopi name Koyemsi, which stands for the Hopi-Tewa mudhead clown, Steve Lucas has become one of the premier potters from the Nampeyo family. He consistently wins blue ribbons at the Santa Fe Indian Market, the Heard Museum Guild Fair and the Gallup Ceremonial. His work is made in the traditional style of his great-great grandmother, Nampeyo. He coils, pinches, scrapes, sands, and then fires outside. Steve uses vegetal paints, and is able to achieve beautifully deep, rich colors in his design work.
