About the Item

Fu’una’s “Masakåda (Brave Woman)” is a contemporary pastel portrait of a woman in cat eye sunglasses looking over her shoulder at the viewer. The model’s straight black hair is tied in a high bun. She also wears hoop earrings and a camisole. The portrait has a red-orange hue that is complemented by a sky blue and black color blocks in the background, where a red base layer peeks out from loose marks. This drawing won First Honorable Mention in the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative 2022 Foundation Show. It was completed in 2021 as part of the artist’s Pacific Islander portrait series. This pastel was drawn on 12 x 9 inch sanded paper and is hinge-taped to a 16 x 12 inch black matboard. It is signed in the lower right corner and will ship unframed. 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.
