LION IN THE JUNGLE - OIL ON WOOD - SERMEL

THIS IS A WONDERFUL PIECE!!!!!

RARE BLACK AND WHITE ENAMEL ON WOOD PAINTING!!!

Sermel is a papel mache & art studio/factory in Tonala, Jalisco, Mexico. The town of Tonala is/was one of the prominent ceramic/pottery centres of Mexico. It has a long and storied history in the decorative arts of pottery. Founded in 1963 by artists Sergio Bustamante and Melquiades Preciado, Sermel's original intent was to create objects of art: metal, hand painted wooden objects and utensils, furniture and papel mache. Their style was bright or current colour schemes, with fanciful play on the traditional decorative painting style that had defined Tonala for decades prior. Sermel quickly rose to prominence and fame in the decorative arts circles of Mexico and other parts of the world. Mostly due to their work being purchased by American tourists in the late 1960s.
