ROSE BRICCETTI  Time Flies Like an Arrow, Fruit Flies Like a Banana

Rose Briccetti makes her Track 16 debut with Time Flies Like an Arrow, Fruit Flies Like a Banana (Musa acuminata), a surreal and meticulously researched body of work that turns the familiar banana into a vehicle for exploring art history, biology, commerce, mythology, internet culture, and environmental concerns. Her colorful paintings balance playful imagery with deeper histories of U.S. intervention and the economic forces surrounding the global banana trade.

Moving between digital collage and traditional painting, Briccetti constructs dense visual worlds where humor and absurdity coexist with ecological vulnerability and cultural history. The exhibition considers monoculture in both environmental and cultural terms, transforming an everyday fruit into a surprisingly complex symbol of consumption, science, power, and human folly.
