Top Banana (2025) is a bronze sculpture by Chinese artist Huang Yulong, depicting one of his characteristic hooded figures reclining on a chair.

The figure’s dark bronze body contrasts with the luminous golden hoodie, creating a striking visual tension between the concealed identity of the character and its reflective features. The relaxed pose introduces a playful and self-assured attitude, while the combination of the seated figure and chair creates a strong sculptural silhouette.

Huang Yulong combines references to contemporary urban culture with traditional sculptural techniques, using his recurring hooded figures to explore identity, anonymity and contemporary youth culture.

Top Banana is produced in an edition of 8 and hand-signed by the artist.
