Diego Romero, Untitled pot (1991), ceramic with Tang and gloss glazes

Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, 710 Camino Lejo, 505-476-1269, miaclab.org Cochiti Pueblo artist Diego Romero’s third exhibition at the museum, Diego Romero vs. the End of Art, is the largest assemblage of his work to date. The show reflects his ongoing engagement with Native identity and history through his signature blend of traditional Cochiti pottery techniques and graphic-artinfluenced narrative imagery. The show includes more than 40 works in pottery and lithography in which Romero explores themes of war, women, art, and family from a Native viewpoint, and with biting satire. “I once wanted to become a comic book artist, but fate brought me to Otellie Loloma who taught me traditional pottery which, deep down, I had always wanted to learn,” Romero says. “Now, the two loves are fused into an art paradigm as unique as my own identity.” The show is currently on exhibit and remains on view through April 5.
