The artwork titled “Elvis” was created by Jeff Koons in 2003. It employs a combination of oil and digital mediums, and is associated with the Neo-Dada and Hyper-Realism movements. This piece belongs to the genre of nude painting (nu) and digital art, and is part of Koons’ “Popeye” series.
The artwork features a dual rendition of a nude female figure positioned on either side of a large, vibrant inflatable lobster. The background is composed of a collage-like arrangement including various elements and texts, which seem chaotic yet meticulously arranged. The vivid red of the lobster contrasts sharply with the more natural colors of the human forms, creating a striking visual impact. The overall composition reflects Koons’ distinctive style, blending pop culture references with hyper-realistic detail and an underlying layer of playful surrealism.
