‘Banana sport’ illustrates three women on pull up bars doing exercises near a large bunch of bananas. This piece shares many similarities to another piece by Artem Andreichuk, also called 'Banana sport', with the two differing mostly in their colour schemes. In this painting, a much darker variety of colours is used, with the piece almost being entirely in black and white. The bananas are highlighted through their bright yellow colour and the light grey shadows that they cast. Bananas have erotic connotations, and so these women stretching becomes more sexual with the presence of the bananas. Overall, the unique use of colour makes the scene more surreal and dream-like, as they imagine their lives in sunny California.
