Banana inspiration

Bananas and art? Yes!

As it turns out, these yellow fruits are inspiring artists and designers no worse than beauty of nature.

Banana art

Jan Jil Park from Australia buys some packs of dental cleaning sticks, a pair bunches of bananas and changes bananas into contemporary artworks. For hours the artist is scratching on banana skins and is making usual fruits into real masterpieces.

Draw it and eat it

Artist and illustrator Honey pricks the skin of bananas with paper clip. The skin gets brown, and detailed drawings are emerging from pricked dots. A portrait is made in 20 minutes to 2 hours, says Honey. After finishing he takes a picture and eats his work.

Banana mood

Like Druku.lv team, Dutch artist Stephan Brushe sees a huge space for self-manifestation in bananas. Artist has hundreds of works in his collection, and no two are similar.

Tracks of banana rock-n-roll

Creative people use bananas not only for drawing. Fans of rock-n-roll associate words “varhol” and “banana” with the debut album of the group “The Velvet Underground”. A overripe banana was painted on it. A notice was written below: “Pull and see.” One can pull the skin and see a pink flesh underneath. No one before was made such a trick, and therefore the album was an artwork.
