Acrylic Pouring Produce Technique (Duct Tape Banana Technique for Beginners)!
This tutorial introduces “The Produce Technique” to the Acrylic Pouring and Fluid Art world. Many acrylic pouring and fluid art artists become disenchanted when their works are seen as “less-than” in the fine art world. The Produce Technique, which uses fruit and tape, is a sure-fire way to get your acrylic pour paintings viewed as “fine art” by galleries and art lovers around the world. This video introduces this pour painting technique step-by-step. Does it have to be a banana and duct tape? Absolutely NOT! It is best to match your fruit to the art in an intentional and thoughtful manner… this tutorial will show you how! (You can TOTALLY do better than the Maurizio Cattelan Duct Tape Banana, my friends!! There are so many fruit and tape choices! Expect to see your own work at Art Basel in 2020. I do! ).

Background:
Acrylic pouring is not seen as art by many in the fine art world. Fluid artists are routinely insulted and told that their paintings are not art at all, and that they are certainly not artists. Juxtaposed against the art that is embraced by some in the fine art world, such as Maurizio Cattelan's Duct Tape Banana, which sold at Art Basel in Miami for $120,000, it becomes even harder to understand the harsh judgement many fluid art artists encounter. Cattelan titled his duct tape banana "Comedian". Cattelan's banana was being shown at Art Basel by international gallery Perrotin when it was sold for $120,000. The banana was later eaten by a hungry performance artist.
When asked if the duct tape banana was a joke, gallery owner, Emmanuel Perrotin stated, "Every aspect of the work was carefully considered, from the shape of the fruit, to the angle its been affixed with duct tape to the wall, to its placement in the booth-front and center, on a large wall that could have easily fit a much larger painting.” He added, “Maurizio’s work is not just about objects, but about how objects move through the world. Whether affixed to the wall of an art fair booth or displayed on the cover of the New York Post, Maurizio forces us to question how value is placed on material goods. The spectacle, which has been orchestrated so beautifully, is as much a part of the work as the banana.” Perrotin later explained that securing a buyer for the piece completed the artwork. “A work like that,” he said, “if you don’t sell the work, it’s not a work of art.”
