Texas Art | Banana Taped to Texas | Caya Crum

One banana, going spotty, taped across a Texas-shaped plaque in cornflower blue with a pale sprig pattern, against a warm bronze ground. The tape is grey, slightly crumpled, and painted with real attention — which is funnier than painting it neatly. It's an original composition, done in oil, with every crease of the tape drawn from life. That's the joke inside the joke.

It's funny wall art for anywhere a visitor stops and has to work out what they're looking at — an office, a studio, a hallway. It sits alongside Caya's Banana Cowboy Bandit, the other half of her banana western run, the original single-banana line work in Banana Study, and the rest of her weirdcore art. A natural pick from Texas gifts; more from the artist in Caya Crum art. Great conversation piece.

Product FAQ

What is Banana Taped to Texas about?

In 2019 a banana was duct-taped to a wall at an art fair in Miami and sold for six figures — then somebody ate it. This is Caya Crum's answer: one spotty banana taped across a Texas-shaped plaque, painted in oil, by hand, by a person who can actually draw.

Is Banana Taped to Texas a copy of the taped-banana artwork?

No — it's an original painting commenting on a piece of art-world news. The cornflower-blue Texas plaque, the warm bronze ground, and the carefully crumpled grey tape are all Caya's own.

Where should Banana Taped to Texas hang?

An office, a studio, a bar area, or a gallery wall of things that are slightly wrong — funny wall art that belongs where conversations happen.

Who is Banana Taped to Texas a good gift for?

Anyone who follows the art world closely enough to be tired of it. It costs a great deal less than the original and is considerably harder to eat.

Will this look like an original painting or a print?

Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.

What sizes does this print come in?

Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.

How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?

Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
