The artwork titled “Gorilla,” created by Jeff Koons between the years 2006 and 2011, is a granite sculpture that falls under the Neo-Pop Art movement. It belongs to the genre of sculpture and encapsulates the bold and playful characteristics often associated with Neo-Pop Art.
The sculpture “Gorilla” is a monumental representation of a gorilla standing in an assertive posture. The figure is solid and imposing, conveyed through the use of smooth, reflective granite that gives the sculpture a polished, almost glossy appearance. The gorilla stands on a base, further emphasizing its dominance and presence. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lifelike depiction of the gorilla’s features, from the contours of its muscular frame to the expressive detail in its face. The polished surface of the sculpture not only highlights the craftsmanship but also reflects the surroundings, incorporating an element of interaction between the artwork and the viewer.
