The artwork “Triple Elvis” by Jeff Koons, created in 2009 in the United States, employs oil and digital mediums and falls within the Neo-Pop Art movement. Part of the “Popeye” series, the artwork belongs to the genre of nude painting (nu).
The artwork features three iterations of a blonde woman clothed minimally, suggestive of Elvis Presley’s iconic duplications. A prominent, inflatable red lobster with intricate detailing slices across the composition, serving both as a playful and provocative element. The background is a vivid collage of cartoon-like imagery, including depictions related to the Popeye series. The juxtaposition of the playful lobster with the sensual depiction of the figures creates a striking blend of pop cultural references and provocative subject matter, emblematic of Koons’ signature style.
