AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This dynamic and ironic sculpture reinterprets the famous and iconic primate in pop-art style, blending the imagery of contemporary pop culture with the symbols of the Italian spirit of competition and conviviality.
The figure, characterized by faceted and geometric lines, depicts a rampant gorilla in a triumphant pose: with arms raised high, it firmly supports a large bright yellow banana, on which the celebratory graphic "9.5.8 SANTERO" stands out. The gorilla's body is adorned with a lively, patriotic color palette: the chest and torso showcase the colors of the Italian flag (green, white and red) topped by four red stars, evoking the grit and the sporting and festive passion of the brand.
