Grant Levy-Lucero sees ancient Greek and Roman pots as a blueprint. The textbook definition of art. His own ceramics take these as a starting point. They’re witty, and laden with American logos. Bounty, Cookie Crisp and Moon Pie all feature. To create them, the artist uses a traditional coiling technique. This is where you roll out long, snake-like shapes of clay, and then layer them on top of each other to make a vase. After, he adds imagery in bright gloss paint, drawing attention to the bumpy surfaces of the clay. Deliberately naive, the pots also nod to old cartoons from the Looney Tunes empire.
