A Fantasy World

Lips by Jeff Koon in 2000, is an oil based painting on a canvas. He takes lips, spiraling pieces of hair, food, a sort of liquid, and a persons eye with eyelashes, and puts them all together in front of a landscape view, making a collage of things. The image, I think Jeff is trying to create, gives an expression that a person should be healthy by eating fruits and vegetables, drinking a nutritious liquid, and the outcome of being healthy is looking beautiful, like the landscape image in the background.
This work of art makes me feel as if I was not in a reality world but in a world of fantasy. When I look at this work of art it makes me think that I'm dreaming and floating in mid air. It kind of makes me wonder if this is what musicians or artists might see if they where on a very strong dosage of drugs, because it is so colorful and would make the viewer feel happy.
With being a Pop artist, Koon creates images that express art movements from the past. The movements that his art depicts include; Surrealism and Abstract. With all the advertising in the media, Koon takes those ideas and just puts images that make no sense together. It's as if he is trying to tell the viewers that everything in the world never makes sense and that nothing is perfect and that it is ok if its not.
