Silkscreen with archival pigment // Jeff Koons' Monkey Train (Blue) (2007) is a silkscreen print that combines a whimsical cartoon-like image of a smiling monkey with a historical scene of a horse and carriage against a blue backdrop. The oversized, colorful monkey face is placed prominently in the center of the composition, evoking childhood nostalgia and the aesthetics of inflatable toys. In the background, the pale blue landscape features a vintage train and horse-drawn carriage, contrasting the modern, playful imagery with a nostalgic nod to history. This juxtaposition of pop culture and historical references is a hallmark of Koons' work, blending kitsch and high art to challenge perceptions of contemporary culture.

What is Neo-Geo?
Known as Neo-Geo for short, this movement uses geometric objects and shapes to create abstract artwork as a metaphor for society. Inspired by various 20th-century art styles, including minimalism and pop art, Neo-Geo emerged in the 1980s as a response to the industrialization and commercialization of the modern world. The movement reflects on the impact of mass production, consumerism, and technology, often critiquing the superficiality of contemporary culture through its abstract, geometric compositions.
