The artwork titled “Titi” by Jeff Koons, created in 2003, exemplifies the Neo-Dada and Hyper-Realism movements. This figurative piece, part of the “Popeye” series, employs a medium consisting of oil and digital techniques.
The artwork features a vivid collage composition with several large, inflatable depictions of the cartoon character Tweety Bird intertwined with human figures. The scene is layered with various elements, including chains hanging down and a chain-link fence superimposed on the forefront. The vibrant colors and hyper-realistic detailing are characteristic of Koons’ style, creating a visually striking and provocative piece. The juxtaposition of the playful, cartoonish imagery with more mature, adult elements invites viewers to explore themes of innocence, commodification, and popular culture.
