simply bananas but why do they seem nightmare-inducing to me?

[–] getoffthedrugsdude@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perhaps it's the tiny carved faces, or the fact that one of them skinned themselves alive to make a literal banana hammock to lay in?

i thought at first it was those serious banana faces; but after SubArcticTundra pointed it out, maybe its the art style. serious, old-timey-looking painting with old-men-faced bananas

They art style is distinctive to a painter who drew surreal artworks but his name has escaped me

Edit: it's probably Hieronhmjs Bosch

it's a bit modern-looking to be Bosch. I would like to know who the artist is, though.

It's Vladimir Kush! I used to love to go his gallery on Maui back when I lived there. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure it burned down in the Lahaina fires. I actually got the chance to meet him once. This is actually the first time I've seen his work out in the wild! How fun. :)

Thanks for posting! I like his style.

It could also be Salvador Dali

I've seen this episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog and it does not end well.

That banana doesn’t need to split. It’s a sundae after all.

Taking a sick day someone tried to skin me alive
