Ripe is where it all starts. A single banana, painted clean and untouched, set against a turquoise so bright it practically hums. There’s nothing complicated going on here… and that’s the point. Day-z takes one of the most ordinary objects in the world and, just by isolating it against that colour, makes it impossible to ignore. It’s bold, it’s graphic, and it’s got that pop art confidence that says: yes, this is just a banana, and yes, it’s also a brilliant painting. This is the first chapter in a three-part story - over Ripe, Ripe 2 and Ripe 3, the banana slowly starts to change, drip and transform. Ripe is the calm before that begins. It performs beautifully in a kitchen, a dining room, or anywhere that could do with a hit of colour and a bit of humour on the wall. For collectors looking to start the Good Taste series from the beginning, or just after a single piece that’s fun, punchy and beautifully made. Available unframed.
