This is another wonderful stencil piece by John D’oh, underneath the M32 in what he has made into a bit of a personal gallery. This simple, playful piece is packed with humour and wordplay.

A gorilla is featured alongside a banana which has a bit of tape over it, to give the illusion that a real banana is attached to the column.The words ‘guerilla street art is better than a grey wall’ mess with the homonym ‘guerilla and gorilla’. Fun stuff nicely executed.
Pretty sure the artist is being even more witty: A banana duct-taped to a wall, titled “Comedian” by artist Maurizio Cattelan, sold for $6.2 million at a Sotheby’s auction in New York in November 2024. Purchased by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun, the conceptual art piece includes a certificate of authenticity allowing the owner to replace the fruit. Sun planned to eat the banana as part of the artistic experience.

Fantastic background, and now you mention it, I think I remember this story, so yes, John D’oh is being extra clever.
