Une curation de Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager chez Galerie Lo Scalo – The banana in art is a multifaceted icon, balancing between humorous absurdity, tropical exoticism, and sharp political critique. Symbolically, its vibrant yellow peel evokes immediate pop-culture energy and humor, as seen in expressions like "going bananas," while its historical associations run deep with themes of globalization and consumerism. Since 1950, this fruit has evolved from a simple still-life subject into a profound conceptual tool. Andy Warhol immortalized its graphic simplicity with his legendary album cover print, Banana (1967), turning it into an ultimate Pop Art staple. Decades later, Maurizio Cattelan shocked the art world by duct-taping the fruit to a wall in his viral conceptual work, Comedian (2019), challenging the very nature of artistic value. In photography, the world-famous Wolfgang Tillmans captures the fruit's organic decay and raw, domestic intimacy in still lifes like Grown (2003). This collection celebrates how contemporary creators continue to peel back the layers of this familiar yet complex artistic catalyst.
