richard zane smith

Richard Zane Smith draws on inspiration from spirituality and the humility shown by the Navajo which translates into breathtaking pottery unlike anything most people have ever seen before. Many collectors believe, upon first glance of Smith’s work, that they are looking at a finely woven basket given the intricate design created with Smith’s unconventional contours and contemporary color and design. Smith uses perspective, color, and space to trick the eye into assuming three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane, creating a visual delicacy few artists achieve and equally few collectors have the privilege of calling their own.
