Signed Handcrafted Rooster Woodcut Print in Black and White, "Rooster Crow"

Roosters are often seen as protectors against evil forces, but for Brazilian artist Ivan Borges, these colorful creatures are a tender memory of his homeland. This talented artisan hand-carves his creation into a wooden piece depicting a rooster and his famous morning chat. Then, using traditional techniques, Ivan uses the carving to print an ink artwork on parchment paper.

Titled Cantar do Galo in Portuguese, the work comes signed and unstretched.
