On this triptych of skateboards, Jeff Koons reinterprets a detail of his 2008 oil painting Triple Popeye, a layered and hand-painted composition with the iconic cartoon character, Popeye. Limited Edition 234/500.
“Popeye is about an image of, ‘I am what I am.’ Kind of a symbol of self-acceptance that you have to embrace who you are. Popeye has his spinach. Spinach brings about his transcendence, and brings about his power. That’s what art [is]. Art is our spinach.” – JEFF KOONS
Since 2014, THE SKATEROOM has worked closely with the world’s most influential artists to empower international skate and education nonprofits & projects.
