Banana Plastik - Comprised of two artists from Memphis, Tennessee, Banana Plastik aims to bring color and vibrancy to walls everywhere. Paige Ellens (she/her) and Ivy-Jade Edwards (she/her) majored in Studio Art at the University of Memphis, graduating in 2020 and 2019, respectively. With Edwards' striking illustrative style and Ellens' attention to color and patterning, the two painters joined forces to collaborate on murals and other public artworks. Both artists are inspired by murals, contemporary art, and pop culture, including anime, film/TV, and music. They’ve exhibited separately and together across the state, and their creative flair in murals can be seen across Memphis.
