This is Paul Bond's Lao Tzu's Dream. (Do you know what Lao Tzu's name means? Old Teacher. ) Yeah, I'm a total STAN. Look at how he uses hyper-realism (the stones' texture) but utterly surreal elements...you know, the tree & such...knock the viewer a little off balance. Plus, it's a little mockery of the whole hipster cairn-building fad. He's good.

Jeff Koons is a well known postmodern artist recognized for his artwork depicting everyday objects such as balloon animals in stainless steel with a shiny finish. it represents the minimalist aspect of postmodernism due to each piece of art having only one or two main centerpieces. The pastiche he uses for taking inspiration from other art has sometimes gotten him in trouble; he has been accused of plagiarism many times. Popular culture of children's toys are very common in his art style.
