This vibrant composition features a central figure with exaggerated anatomical elements, rendered in stark black and pink tones, set against a vivid yellow background. The figure’s ribcage and bold, rounded forms evoke neo-expressionist deconstruction of the human body. Above the figure floats a black cat-like face with wide eyes and bared teeth, topped with a jagged crown, a signature symbol often associated with authority and power. Text elements include a prominent crown motif and cryptic marks near the upper right corner, adding layered meaning and street-inspired punctuation to the piece. The repeated geometric shapes—white squares and a gray angular form—create a dynamic contrast with the organic lines of the figure, emphasizing tension between abstraction and representation. The bold color palette of yellow, black, pink, and white intensifies the emotional impact, while the primitive figurative style and symbolic imagery engage with themes of identity, struggle, and empowerment within an urban context. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism, reflecting Basquiat’s signature fusion of raw anatomical references, symbolic iconography, and vivid color. Perfect for collectors of urban art, modern expressionism, or those drawn to powerful cultural narratives portrayed through dynamic visual language. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
