Jeff Koons

Jeff Koons is an American artist known for his reproductions of objects in stainless steel with mirror finish looking surfaces, such as the balloon animal above. He recreates these different objects by making them more than ten feet tall and also transforms them out of metal which creates a shiny balloon like appearance. His new generation art work consists of transforming objects into flawless surfaces and he also focuses on the morality of what it means to be an artist. Although these images appear a bit childish, I think they are extremely appealing to the human eye and its almost as if the simplicity, shiny nature of the object makes it so appealing. They appear to me like actual balloons that would be found floating in a parade.
