The artwork, titled “Hulks (Bells),” was created by Jeff Koons between 2004 and 2012. It is a bronze sculpture that belongs to the Neo-Pop Art movement. This piece exemplifies the genre of sculpture and reflects the artist’s distinctive style and thematic interests.
“Hulks (Bells)” depicts two figures reminiscent of the comic book character Hulk, rendered in vivid green and purple hues. These inflatable-like figures stand opposite each other, holding a large, metal bell structure between them. The Hulk figures appear exaggerated in form, emphasizing their burly physique and powerful stance. The bell, dark and imposing, contrasts with the bright, glossy surface of the Hulk figures. The overall composition combines elements of pop culture with traditional sculpture techniques, encapsulating Koons’ exploration of high and low art dichotomies.
