Banana Slip

 

Brief

This is a commissioned artwork for a client who wanted to explore humor in a creative and visually striking way. The piece plays with surrealism and absurdity, using an unexpected twist on everyday objects to create a fun and engaging visual experience. The goal was to make the viewer smile while appreciating the detailed execution and dynamic composition.

Space

The artwork was designed to seamlessly blend into this space by matching its color palette, style, and mood. The warm yellow tones complement the pendant lights, chair, and ladder, while the darker accents balance with the navy cabinetry. Its playful yet refined aesthetic aligns with the room’s modern design, adding character without overwhelming the space. The framing and scale were carefully considered to create a cohesive and intentional focal point.

Outcome

The scene evokes the classic showdowns between Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, as well as the relentless chases between Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner—but with an unexpected twist: everyone ends up slipping on a strategically placed banana peel.While it’s now a staple of visual comedy, the banana peel gag has over a century of history.
