Caught in a provocative pose, Studio Job’s Banana Lamp adds irreverent personification to the world’s most popular fruit. Studio Job continually incorporates pop cultural references in their work, distilling the beauty out of the popular. The Banana Lamp is no exception. Studio Job’s playful work, immortalized in polished, painted and guilt bronze, draws on the iconic visual quality of the fruit that global economies have been built upon, whilst paying homage to Andy Warhol’s famous banana works and the Velvet Underground.
