Eric Lewis Black on White Swirling “Doodles” Round Acoma Pot         

This eye-catching pot was made the traditional hand-coiled way by Eric Lewis with white Acoma clay who then painted it with what he calls his swirling “doodles,” bold black designs reminiscent of some tattoos. The strong graphics on Eric’s pottery give them a modernist appearance; however, on close scrutiny you can see that a variety of his designs are based on traditional Acoma patterns. This entire pot is hand painted by Eric with swirling birds and clouds which he accomplished with naturally derived mineral and vegetal slips. It measures 6.5” inches wide and 4.5” inches tall. The width of the top opening is 3.5” inches and he signed the pot, “Eric Lewis.”

Born in 1978, Eric Lewis was born into an acclaimed family of Acoma potters: his mother Sharon Lewis; his father Bernard Lewis; and his paternal aunts Diane Lewis, Carolyn Concho, Judy Lewis, Marilyn Ray, and Rebecca Lucario. Eric’s learning of traditional art began by observing family members making pottery as he grew up. However, he says his design work was influenced most by the art teachers he studied with in school. Eric began making pottery around 2000 but didn't become a full-time artist until about 2010. Eric Lewis pots are one of the more contemporary styles you will find in young Acoma pottery today.
