Hi,

I want to stress that this is NOT my art.
I am hoping someone here can help me identify the genre and artist
Details: 40cmx80cm - acrylic on canvas mounted on ply board. It is signed Ron or Rom on lower left corner.

I have been researching online and found genres Hawaiiana and Tiki art, typified by artists such as, among many, Jim Kingwell, Belinda Leigh, Carole Armstrong, Brad Parker and the inimitable Thor - Tom Thordarson.

As I am not sure if this is Hawaiin, but think it may be Polynesian, I'm thinking this painting probably falls into the Polynesian Kitsch genre.

Any help to identify the actual location, artist or genre of this work will be greatly appreciated so I can give credit where credit is due. I would also appreciate it if anyone knows similar works, or works by this artist, to give me links or tags I could follow to find them.

Cheers!
