Basquiat Stable — ASHES, 1019907, Crown

£1,500.00

This striking composition features a central skeletal figure wearing a cap adorned with a crown symbol, holding a large broomstick-like object. Surrounding the figure are layered text elements including "ASHES," "1019907," "aaaaa," and faint numerical markings, alongside abstracted faces in the upper right corner. The palette is dominated by vibrant yellows, contrasting blues, greens, and varied strokes in black and white, creating dynamic tension. Characteristic neo-expressionist elements appear throughout: skull and bone imagery, primitive figurative forms, repetitive scribbled text, and crown motifs—an iconic Basquiat symbol. The piece evokes themes of labor, mortality, and identity, with the word "ASHES" suggesting transformation or loss. Brushy gestural marks and layered geometry reinforce the urban and existential atmosphere. This contemporary decorative artwork draws on neo-expressionism’s engagement with mortality, street iconography, and symbolic text. Ideal for collectors of bold urban art and anyone fascinated by layered meanings in modern painting. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
