IABO, Banana Republic (Andy Warhol), glossy plexiglass, 70x70 cm

Unique artwork from the cicle Leitmotiv. Starting from an icon, IABO realizes women and men profiles, made by a format with unlimited variations. The artist works on cycles to obtain a “visual catchphrase”. A thick and black outline marks the face's morphology. The painting is flat and bidimensional; the line is graphic and essential. In this variation the character represented is Andy Warhol. The starting idea comes out from the advertising world, in fact the message is concentrate in a few seconds. The artwork is based on the play between the fruit banana and one of the most famous work of Andy Warhol: the banana drawn on the cover of the Velvet Underground & Nico's record. IABO alludes to the banana with a simple Chiquita sticker on the right.
