Balloon Venus, 2014
Jeff Koons (born 1955)
In the Chapel
This American sculptor and visual artist, known for his neo-pop kitsch style, pays homage to the Venus of Willendorf, a Paleolithic limestone statuette symbolizing fertility.
The work is composed of balloon-like volumes with a pink metallic sheen, symbolizing creative energy.
The artist reminds us here that human desire has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
