Artists who paint unusual fruit?

Question

Hi
I'm looking for artists who paint more unusual types of fruits. I can find loads of still-life paintings but they're all things like apples and pears, whereas I was looking for less common fruits. Or does anyone know of artists who paint fruit in more unusual ways?
Thank you
