Personal project - Handmade Pixel-Art - 2022

Portrait of Jeff Koons.  

Jeff Koons is an American artist known for his large-scale sculptures and controversial works of art. He has been described as one of the most influential and successful artists of his generation and his works have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world.

This creation is part of a purely NeoPop artistic approach. Strongly inspired by the 80s/90s and popular culture, this graphic work uses its codes: pixel-art, 8-bit design, colors inspired by the world of video games, dialogue portraits (avatar), characters from Pop culture, etc
The different resolutions allow you to take a fresh look at stars more or less known to everyone.

Due to its minimalist aspect, pixel-art is in essence a distorted representation of our reality.
Each time the resolution changes, we see the representation of this character vanish or anchor a little more in reality. This approach immediately echoes our modern Western society which highlights values ​​such as starification, appearance and immediacy.

To become known is to prepare to no longer be so.
