Jonas Wood

Bananas, 2021

9 Color screenprint on rising museum board

28 x 23 inches

Hand signed, dated and numbered 144/200 in pencil by the artist on the front

The vividly graphic print, Bananas, was created expressly as a fundraiser for Printed Matter, a non profit in New York, and it pre-sold out without hours. The prints was formatted to the proportions of a classic Polaroid picture, with each featuring a different plant removed from a distinct background and context, like a scientific extraction. Plants have long been a source of fascination for Wood and often appear in his work. This is the artist’s first print depicting the banana tree, which Wood has spent almost a decade exploring through drawings and paintings based on his personal archive of images. A visit to Hawaii further sparked his curiosity into the many different varieties.
