When an ancestral image is produced today, it must adhere closely to the ancient guidelines established by the very first depicter of the abstract form. This notion resonates deeply within the Hawaiian Art Movement, where the essence of that ancient image remains alive. The modern-day artist, like Rocky Kaʻiouliokahihikolo ʻEhu Jensen, has the freedom to infuse his own style, much like artists did in the days of old. This results in a captivating blend of traditional art inspiration and contemporary expression, creating a narrative that honors the past while embracing the present. A charismatic hero in an enchanting story, the black hawk soars upwards to the sacred clan of ʻEhu.
