simply bananas but why do they seem nightmare-inducing to me?

Perhaps it's the tiny carved faces, or the fact that one of them skinned themselves alive to make a literal banana hammock to lay in?

i thought at first it was those serious banana faces; but after SubArcticTundra pointed it out, maybe its the art style. serious, old-timey-looking painting with old-men-faced bananas

They art style is distinctive to a painter who drew surreal artworks but his name has escaped me

Edit: it's probably Hieronhmjs Bosch

it's a bit modern-looking to be Bosch. I would like to know who the artist is, though.

It's Vladimir Kush! I used to love to go his gallery on Maui back when I lived there. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure it burned down in the Lahaina fires. I actually got the chance to meet him once. This is actually the first time I've seen his work out in the wild! How fun. :)

Thanks for posting! I like his style.

It could also be Salvador Dali
