For your consideration is a Kink Kuka original, framed painting titled "Indian in War Bonnett." King Kuka was born and raised on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana. Creating art was the spiritual essence of King's life. King Kuka's unique style of painting and sculpting captures the spirituality of his rich Native American, Blackfeet heritage. King Kuka's art, know as kukagraphs, is the result of a creative process that preserves part of a great culture; a culture that's now sprouting new growth after years of oppression. This beautifully detailed mixed medium painting shows an indian in a war bonnet with hands raised in front of him. It appears from the white, tan, and brown splatters that these are blowing in the wind. This piece is professionally framed with an entry label form to the Red Cloud Art Show, signed by King Kuka and dated May 20, 1984. The visible art measures approximately 4x5" and the frame measures 12x13.5"
