Montanaro's original, framed BANANA UNCHAINED # artwork, a 2020+ period mixed-media piece with acrylic painting, 31 × 25 cm, 1000 g, hand-signed, in excellent condition, depicting a pop culture theme and made in Italy.
Description from the seller
This work represents an ironic and powerful deconstruction of the iconic symbols of contemporary art. If, on one hand, the reference to Maurizio Cattelan's famous banana is evident, the artist takes a further step, endowing the object with an anthropomorphic and disruptive physicality. The muscular arms that emerge from the fruit are not only a surreal element, but a metaphor of resilience and of the intrinsic strength of pop culture that 'liberates' itself from the constraints of adhesive tape.
The color contrast between the vibrant yellow, the turquoise background, and the depth of the black frame creates a magnetic visual impact, perfect for modern spaces and collections that enjoy the dialogue between satire and design. Details of the work: Up for auction is an exclusive material-based work that fuses sculpture and wall installation. The piece is presented inside a solid black deep 4.5 cm box frame, which gives the object a substantial stage presence and a notable depth of perspective.
The Tiffany/teal background highlights the glossy finish of the "Banana Muscolosa", while the silvered, tape-like details wryly echo the language of the ready-made. It's a piece that plays with the absurd, ideal for anyone seeking a conversation piece capable of blending street aesthetics with social critique.
The artwork is unique and is part of a series of works "BANANA UNCHAINED" created from 2025 onwards; each banana has its own dynamism and color that tells different stories and conveys various emotions.
Already some works have found a market in several European countries, from Germany to Belgium, Italy, France and the Netherlands, among private collectors who are enthusiasts of contemporary art and pop art.
Shipping: The artwork will be shipped with professional packaging and guaranteed tracking to preserve its integrity.
