Hawaiian Ku God of War Canvas Wall Art — Polynesian Mythology Art 1

This canvas takes Kū in a more mythic register — the god mid-stance against a sky of storm and ember, spear raised, the world behind him bent toward conflict. The composition is dramatic, almost cinematic.

Hawaiian tradition speaks of many forms of Kū — Kū of the deep-sea fish, Kū of the forest, Kū of the canoe-builders, Kū of war. Each was invoked for a different work. The war-Kū here, Kūkā'ilimoku, was the personal akua of Kamehameha I, carried into the battles that unified the islands.

It's a strong centerpiece for a den, a library, or a study where history and myth are part of the décor. A serious gift for a reader of Hawaiian history or a collector of mythology art.

Canvas wall art print. Available in many sizes from 6×6 to large gallery formats.
