This striking composition centers on large, bold numerals "1/2" rendered in deep black against a muted pink background, immediately drawing the viewer's focus. Above the fraction, a stylized black figure with outstretched arms and a crown hovers next to text elements including "KEEP" and "FROZEN," suggesting themes of preservation and stasis. The piece also includes a light blue brushstroke area and a faint crescent shape, adding textural contrast and symbolic ambiguity. The artist's signature "JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT" appears discreetly along the right edge. The work employs classic neo-expressionist motifs: primitive, almost hieroglyphic figurative forms; a limited but impactful palette of black, pink, light blue, and white; and layered textual elements that hint at concepts of time, division, and authority via the crown symbol. This piece engages with themes of identity, impermanence, and the tension between motion and stillness in urban life. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by neo-expressionism’s blend of symbolic text, raw figurative imagery, and conceptual depth. Perfect for collectors drawn to Basquiat’s iconic style or for those interested in thought-provoking urban art narratives. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
