This striking composition features a dominant black skull-like form with a single fiery eye and sharply outlined teeth dripping with raw black lines, evoking themes of mortality and primal energy. Below floats a sinuous black shape resembling a serpent or tongue, intensifying the piece’s visceral impact. The painting includes vivid red elements: a crouched human figure with a dynamic pose, a jagged skeletal creature that resembles a red lizard or dragon, and an oval emblem inscribed with the word "AURA" in layered red, white, and blue tones, suggesting an ethereal presence or spirit force. Characteristic neo-expressionist elements are present throughout, such as bold, gestural brushwork, stark contrasts between black, red, and white, and symbolic figurative forms. The vertical black streaks dripping down the background add a sense of decay or urban grit, while the primitive yet powerful iconography probes themes of life, death, and spiritual aura within a raw, streetwise aesthetic. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by neo-expressionism’s engagement with identity, mortality, and metaphysical symbolism. Ideal for collectors of Basquiat-inspired urban art or those drawn to intense, enigmatic imagery steeped in cultural and existential motifs. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
