Bananas are the clown among fruits and have therefore become a fruit celebrity. The form is quirky, the colour happy and cartoon characters slip on them. There’s no surprise the fruit has been widely used throughout the history of art to convey all sorts of concepts. From childish humour to political satire and sexual innuendo. It’s been a symbol for “I don’t give a damn!” and at times even got banned from art galleries.

In this publication we celebrate the art of bananas by presenting over 100 artworks from artists, designers and illustrators we admire. From emerging art students to renowed design studios. A book filled with a mix of exploratory styles, a snapshot of interesting creatives of our time. Foreword written by Ritupriya Basu and a creative essay by Heejae Kim. In the book you will also find several interviews with selected participants. 192 pages of joyful banana energy!
