Aljay Fuimaono is a Provo Utah-based artist who has emerged in the art world with a fresh take on Polynesian cultural fine art. The contemporary styled artist enjoys incorporating realism and abstract styles with rich colors and sketch-like strokes to create striking imagery with underlying cultural themes.

Gus Cutty started painting through street art and tagging, but then eventually found his way to portraiture. He attributes his recent success to his friend who pressured him to help paint a “Game of Thrones” mural in 2012. At that point, it had been 6 years since he last painted. Turns out, according to the artist, painting is just like riding a bike, and he hasn’t had a “real” job since.
