About the Item

Fu’una’s “CAW” is a contemporary pastel painting of a great horned owl skull, trumpet creeper flowers, and lightning sun tulips. The work was created with soft pastel on 24 x 18 inch sanded paper. This painting is richly colored with burgundy, reds, and oranges, with teal highlights. In the background, the word “CAW” is written in bright pink calligraphic linework. The words are obscured behind the skull and flowers, acting more as a design element than an overt statement. This pastel is part of a series of drawings that combine flora and fauna like bouquets. The skull serves as an environmental memento mori. Death is a recurring theme in Fu’una’s work. The work is mounted on 28 x 22 x .375 inch archival foam board and ready for the frame of your choice. This piece is signed on the front, lower right. Fu’una (Kameko Branchaud) is a representational artist working in paint, pastel, and murals. Her work centers human and animal subjects and often draws from her experience as an American woman of indigenous Chamuru heritage. Her work attempts to process the polarity of indigenous and diasporic identity, and the interrelated influences of history, power, and heritage on the environment and the psyche. Her pop-realism style draws upon Fauvism, street art, and tattoo culture. Her recognizable palette is indulgent in its vividness and satisfyingly sensory. She has lived in five regions of America and uses photography, drawing, and research to connect with her surroundings.
