The artwork titled “Raccoon Jockstrap” was created by Kent Monkman in 2007. It falls under the art movements postcolonial art and queer art and belongs to the genre of object.
The artwork comprises a meticulously fashioned jockstrap made from raccoon fur. The fur, appearing rich and texturally intricate, dominates the visual impression. The structure of the jockstrap incorporates the aesthetic qualities of the raccoon’s body, with discernible ears and eyes forming part of the design. The piece evokes both the naturalistic qualities of the raccoon and the functional form of a jockstrap, blending elements of humor, critique, and commentary on cultural and artistic themes.
