NEVER GO OUT WITH A LOADED BANANA

Year: 2019
Size: 195 x 120 cm / 76.8 x 47.2 in
Materials: Acrylic, marker, crayon on reused wood

“NEVER GO OUT WITH A LOADED BANANA” is a playful and provocative artwork blending humor with double meanings. At its center, a confident monkey strikes a pose, holding a banana like a gun in one hand while proudly clutching his other “little banana” in the other. The text nods to a lighthearted life lesson from a friend: “Never go out with a full bag.” The piece explores language, masculinity, and the absurdity of human impulses, wrapped in a bold, cartoonish style that both amuses and provokes thought.

“NEVER GO OUT WITH A LOADED BANANA” ist ein verspieltes und provokantes Kunstwerk, das Humor mit Doppeldeutigkeiten verbindet. Im Zentrum posiert ein selbstbewusster Affe, der in einer Hand eine Banane wie eine Pistole hält und in der anderen stolz seine „kleine Banane“ umklammert. Der Text spielt auf eine leichtfertige Lebensweisheit eines Freundes an: „Geh nie mit einer vollen Tasche aus.“ Das Werk untersucht Sprache, Männlichkeit und die Absurdität menschlicher Impulse, verpackt in einem mutigen, cartoonhaften Stil, der sowohl amüsiert als auch zum Nachdenken anregt.

“NEVER GO OUT WITH A LOADED BANANA” is een speels en provocerend kunstwerk dat humor combineert met dubbele betekenissen. In het midden poseert een zelfverzekerde aap, die in de ene hand een banaan als een pistool vasthoudt en in de andere trots zijn “kleine banaan” omklemt. De tekst verwijst naar een luchtige levensles van een vriend: “Ga nooit de deur uit met een volle zak.” Het werk onderzoekt taal, mannelijkheid en de absurditeit van menselijke impulsen, verpakt in een gedurfde, cartooneske stijl die zowel vermaakt als aanzet tot nadenken.

“NEVER GO OUT WITH A LOADED BANANA” est une œuvre d’art ludique et provocante qui mêle humour et double sens. Au centre, un singe confiant prend la pose, tenant une banane comme un pistolet dans une main tout en serrant fièrement sa “petite banane” dans l’autre. Le texte fait référence à une leçon de vie légère d’un ami : « Ne sors jamais avec un sac plein. » L’œuvre explore le langage, la masculinité et l’absurdité des impulsions humaines, dans un style audacieux et cartoon, à la fois amusant et stimulant la réflexion.
