Jeffrey Lynn Koons (-1955) is a famous contemporary artist whose work is influenced by an eclectic array of sensibilities.
The artist studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago before moving to New York in the late 1970s.
Koons made a name for himself by using everyday objects in special installations that touched on consumerism and the human experience.
His art originates from a place and mind informed by strategy and intention for how the cultural world impacts the role of the artist and vice versa.
His work is reflective, energetically charged, and empowering for the viewer.
Koons has stated that there are no hidden meanings or critiques in his works, yet critics come sharply divided in their views of his art.
Some view his work as pioneering and of major art-historical importance. Others dismiss his work as kitsch, crass, and based on cynical self-merchandising.
As with all artists, the meaning of his work is up to you.
