Tristan Eaton’s naughty monkey is front and center for The Billy Bananas Show opening next Thursday (5.7) @ the Jonathan Levine Gallery in NYC. For today’s unconventional Proto Monday, we’re happy to unveil the centerpiece for the hybrid art show + launch for Interspectacular’s Billy vinyl. How to herald Billy’s launch in a fashion befitting one of the most respected ‘new contemporary’ galleries in the country ? A 3’ Severed Billy Bananas Head! Built in resin, this bad boy will bring Billy’s twisted style to life in a grand way. Since this is proto Monday, we have pics of the unpainted piece – all the better to admire the sculpt. Check the mondo tongue! At this point, this decapitated sculpture is a one-off piece designed specifically for the Billy Bananas show. Enjoy plenty o’pics of Billy’s severed head and the five Billy Bananas colorways after the jump.
