Banana icon...ironica (2025)Acrylic painting
by Claudia Daminato

Forget the usual banana taped to the wall. This is an ironic reinterpretation of Cattelan's 'Comedian,' where the common object is dressed in elegance. I wanted to transform the iconic banana into a unique pictorial work, adding an unexpected decorative element: the tape, usually banal, is transformed into a refined element, with floral motifs painted with meticulous care.
This is not simply a painting of a banana taped to the wall, but a dialogue between conceptual art and decoration. A play of contrasts that invites a smile and reflection, transforming a common object into an ironic and pictorial icon.
