Romeo Daneo – Crowing Rooster

Romeo Daneo – “Rooster” – Limited Edition Print

This expressive print by Romeo Daneo features a bold, stylized rooster rendered in a dynamic blend of abstract and figurative forms. The image uses strong contrast between black and yellow with accents of red in the comb and wattle, evoking both folk art and mid-century modernist aesthetics. Textured markings and angular motifs bring energy and rhythm to the composition, while the moon-like shape in the corner adds a surreal, dreamlike quality.
