Artwork Description

This painting series is called The Banana Peel collection 2025 and is inspired by the recent sale of ' The Comedian' (a banana taped to a wall) which sold through auction for $6.2 million dollars, whereby the collector then ate it. Laughable right? Surely this was the point! Art and humour have always been aligned. I wonder if Leonardo DaVinci would laugh if he knew the ridiculous price of his Mona Lisa? This series is poking fun at the Art establishment, and the history of Art and painting. Because in the current state of the world, we all need more reasons to have a laugh.

Artist Bio

Emma Ward is a professional Central Queensland artist who is inspired by the beauty of botanicals, the power of memory, and the stories of connection in a moment of time.
My practice revolves around connecting feelings with memories so I guess I identify as an Expressionistic Romantic or a Romantic Expressionist!. I enjoy creating meaning from the art of everyday alchemy - Flowers, Animals and Faces feature in my paintings. Spirit and energy is so important in creating a heartfelt painting. My studio is my haven - I paint amongst my flowers, surrounded by four daughters, my loving husband and two fuzzy art interns (my two curious cats).
