“‘Yes, we have no Bananas’ was inspired by a grove of bananas growing near my home, and the ridiculous auction of a banana taped to a canvas at Art Basel for millions of dollars. This image is made with natural woods with an inlay technique called ‘marquetry’. The tape on the piece costs 2 cents, which is the same as my two cents worth of opinion.” -Paul
