The artwork entitled “Quad Elvis,” created by Jeff Koons in 2008, employs the mediums of oil and digital techniques, aligning with the art movements of Neo-Pop Art and Hyper-Realism. Categorized under the genre of nude painting (nu), this piece is a part of the “Popeye” series.
The artwork features a quad representation of a blonde woman, depicted in a hyper-realistic manner. Each figure is portrayed with a provocative gaze, contributing to the overall nude thematic presence. Dominating the central composition is a brightly colored red lobster inflatable, its exaggerated, cartoonish features creating a stark contrast against the realistic depiction of the women. The background is interwoven with intricate, comic-strip-like illustrations that add depth and context to the primary elements of the piece. This striking juxtaposition between realism and pop culture elements is emblematic of Koons’s distinctive style.
