“Elephants,” created by Jeff Koons in 2001 in the United States, is an oil painting that belongs to the Neo-Pop Art movement and falls under the genre of figurative art.
The artwork depicts a pair of elephants adorned in an intricate assembly of strings and chains, which resemble jewelry. The elephants’ bodies are accentuated with long, flowing blond hair, creating a striking contrast to their natural appearance. The background features a soft, subtle blend of colors, complementing the elaborate decorations on the elephants. This juxtaposition of natural elements with ostentatious adornments creates a provocative commentary, characteristic of Koons’s unique approach to Neo-Pop Art.
