HARLAN REANO, Pueblo Warrior
Natural clay with acrylic paint, 14.25âh x 8âw x 4âd
Harlan Reano (Kewa Pueblo) explores the relationship between ancestral pottery traditions and contemporary design through ceramic sculpture. Drawing inspiration from ancient Native American designs and superhero figures alike, he spends hours sketching and developing his own distinctive patterns. His practice is rooted in traditional pottery methods: he digs and processes clay by hand, then coil-builds each piece. While natural materials remain central to his work, he has begun incorporating acrylic paints, bringing a contemporary dimension to his exploration of ancestral forms and designs.
