Fatu Feu’u is a noted New Zealand-based Samoan artist. His work has been exhibited widely throughout New Zealand and overseas and is included in a number of prestigious art collections including Te Papa Tongarewa. Feu’u was appointed an Honorary Officer of New Zealand Order of Merit in 2001, and has been referred to as an elder statesman of Pacific Art.

Feu’u's artworks blend traditional and contemporary elements, incorporating a range of influences from Samoa and Aotearoa. Fa'asamoa, “the Samoan way" is a unifying element of Feu’u's work. It describes the traditional and customary way of life of the Samoan culture. Bestowed with the title of Chief and Orator these two roles, one sacred the other secular, may help to explain the powerful combination of symbolism and narrative that Feu’u brings to his work.

This work is from a set of 20 lithographs by prominent NZ artists and produced by Muka Studio to commemorate New Zealand’s sesquicentennial (150th) celebration in 1990.
