About the Item

Fu’una’s “Doldrums” is a contemporary pastel painting of a pink deer at rest, framed with cherry blossoms and azaleas against a solid background. The word “DOLDRUMS” is written across the image in distorted calligraphic letters. The palette is both vivid and soft, with deep pinks, whites, and a light teal background peaking through the pastel marks. This pastel is part of a series of drawings that combine flora and fauna like bouquets. It is inspired by the wildlife of New England. The artificial coloring of the deer and distorted lettering create a dreamlike atmosphere. The 24 x 18 inch pastel on sanded paper 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 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. Fu'una is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.
