Gerardo Ortega Mexican Folk Art Ceramic Rooster – Hand-Painted & Signed

This striking hand-painted ceramic rooster is an original work by Gerardo Ortega, a recognized folk artist from Santa Cruz de las Huertas, Jalisco, Mexico. Known for his Barro Betus pottery, Ortega’s creations are celebrated for their vivid colors, whimsical designs, and detailed craftsmanship.

This large ceramic piece, signed “Ortega” on the base, features a bold blue body with red, yellow, green, and black accents. The rooster’s dynamic stance, expressive face, and highly detailed feather patterns make it a standout example of Mexican folk art. Each feather and decorative element is painted by hand, highlighting the artisan’s skill and the tradition of Jalisco’s ceramic-making heritage.

Provenance:

Part of a life-long Mexican folk art collection, this piece comes from a rich tradition of handcrafted pottery from the Ortega family, well-known for their playful yet highly detailed ceramic sculptures.
