The artwork titled “Sealwalrustrashcan.Series Popeye” is a creation by the artist Jeff Koons. This installation piece belongs to the Neo-Pop Art movement and is part of Koons’ “Popeye” series.
The artwork showcases a whimsical composition featuring inflatable sea creatures—specifically, a green seal and a blue walrus—placed inside a large metal trash can. The trash can is slightly tilted, creating a dynamic interplay between the structured metal form and the playful, buoyant figures. The use of everyday objects and inflatable toys evokes a sense of nostalgia and kitsch, while simultaneously challenging traditional notions of fine art. Through this installation, Jeff Koons masterfully blurs the boundaries between high art and popular culture, inviting viewers to reconsider their perceptions of value and artistic expression.
