This striking composition features a central figure reminiscent of a masked character with bat-like ears, rendered with bold black outlines and a contrasting pink mouth filled with stylized white teeth. Accompanying this figure are cryptic symbols and textual elements, including the repeated letter "A" in red, the word "SAMO" prominently displayed on the left, and scattered "a" and cross-like blue markings, creating a layered visual vocabulary. The piece employs hallmark neo-expressionist techniques: primitive figurative forms with childlike execution, vivid use of primary colors—especially the dominant yellow background and vibrant blue accents—and fragmented text that alludes to Basquiat's early graffiti pseudonym, “SAMO.” The juxtaposition of the mask-like visage with abstract glyphs evokes themes of identity, anonymity, and urban street culture. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by neo-expressionism's fusion of graffiti culture, cryptic symbolism, and exploration of identity in the urban landscape. Perfect for collectors of Basquiat-inspired urban art or fans of raw, expressive visual storytelling. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
