Jeff Koons: Gagosian Gallery

When you first look at these paintings, you might see large paint strokes layered on top of doodles, layered on top of blown-up photographs. Up close it's hard to tell what these paintings might be. However if you step back (away from the computer), the picture becomes more clear.


Another cool thing about these paintings is the process. Not one bit of paint sits on top of another. Each color is painted as a separate piece- almost like a color-by-numbers painting. Why this painstaking technique? Maybe to torture his more than 120 assistants?
