This dynamic composition centers on a bold, stylized figure with a vividly painted face rendered in striking red, blue, and black tones, set against a vibrant yellow and white background. Surrounding the central figure are layered graphic elements including architectural motifs such as the "BIG PAGODA TM," a high-rise building, and abstracted human forms with raised arms. Text elements include "BIG PAGODA TM," "TRA POL," and "MOBILE ELECTRONIC INTERFACE," adding a cryptic, urban technological dimension to the piece. Characteristic neo-expressionist features abound: primitive, mask-like figurative forms, raw anatomical shapes, gestural black lines, and a playful collage of symbols including a hovering black dog, an outlined fish skeleton, and fragmented circular and grid patterns. The predominant use of yellow, green, red, black, and touches of purple evokes intense emotion and rhythmic movement. This work engages with themes of identity, urban architecture, and technological encroachment through a lens of neo-expressionism fused with street-art aesthetics. Perfect for collectors of contemporary decorative art inspired by 1980s urban culture, postmodern African diasporic themes, or architectural iconography. Contemporary art inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat’s neo-expressionist vocabulary and 1980s street culture. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
