This expressive, Cubist-inspired still life shows a half-peeled banana as its central subject, enhanced by a striking, provocative red lipstick kiss on the fruit itself. The artwork combines Cubism's signature fragmented, geometric tessellation in the background and rendering of the banana itself, with sophisticated shades of yellow, cream and grey with a playful pop-art twist through the lipstick trail.
The visible, textured paint texture with thick, palette-applied paint layers gives the work a tangible, expressive quality. The warm, bright yellow tones of the banana contrast beautifully with the calm, neutral abstract background, giving the subject immediate attention. The work plays with the tension between traditional still life art and contemporary, evocative humour.
