Basquiat Stable — ALTER, NERVOUS SYSTEM, Crown

£1,500.00

This striking neo-expressionist composition channels the raw energy of Jean-Michel Basquiat with a fragmented human skull as its focal point, rendered in bold red, black, and yellow pigment. Key text elements such as "ALTER," "NERVOUS SYSTEM," and a crown symbol resonate with themes of anatomy, mental state, and personal power. The piece features stylized teeth and eye motifs, along with abstract lines and shapes that evoke both biological systems and urban graffiti culture. Characteristic features include the use of primitive figurative forms, vivid primary colors emphasizing red and yellow, and layered, hand-drawn text that brings a visceral intensity to the work. The cigarette and skeletal references suggest themes of vulnerability, mortality, and psychological tension, while the crown alludes to empowerment and identity assertion. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism, perfectly suited for collectors of street art aesthetics, modern primitivism, or those drawn to explorations of human anatomy and mental complexity. Contemporary art inspired by Basquiat’s signature engagement with anatomy, psychological themes, and urban symbolism. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
