The parental postulate "You can't play with food!", Which Soviet children learned by heart, eventually loses its pedagogical quality. And how could it be otherwise, if modern artists now and then create some kind of another masterpiece from food. So, we've already written about food artists who paint on toast, have fun with sandwiches, or even use food as the main "raw material" for creativity, like Prudence Emma Staite. And our today's food artist named Jacob Dahlstrup creates his mouth-watering sculptures from the most common bananas. First of all, it is curious what the author loves more than anything else - ripe aromatic bananas, or fast sailing ships? After all, his banana sculptures depict ships, and the collection is called Banana Boats … But what can I say - ships are the main theme in the work of this author.
Uncomplicated and naive creativity, worthy of preschool boys who dream of becoming sailors and going on one of these boats to the open sea, fighting bad weather and fighting pirates? Well, maybe you are right, only this did not prevent the author from arranging an exhibition of his banana ships in London, in the very Shoreditch Town Hall.
You can see these and other works on Jacob Dahlstrup's website.

At the end of the era of sailing ships, when steam engines began to supplant the driving force of the wind, the windjammers, the most lifting of them, became the last loud chord of the era of sailing ships. Real "wind squeezers". These titans under sail set speed records for the delivery of gunpowder components to Europe, which was involved in World War I. Only in order to subsequently be destroyed by this war
Viking ships on the Spanish coast: festival in Catoira

Banana sculptures by Suu. When a banana isn't just a banana
It would seem, what can you do with a banana? Well, maybe eat it! Or feed them a monkey at the zoo. But for the Japanese artist known as Suu, bananas perform exactly the same function that large pieces of marble do for other sculptors. Suu is carving sculptures out of them
