Basquiat Stable — Crown Figure Composition

£1,500.00

This dynamic composition centers on a stretched, skeletal figure with outstretched limbs, depicted in bold black strokes against a vivid yellow background. The figure’s anatomical details—rib cage, organs, and facial features—are sketched in white and red accents, with a prominent red crown hovering above its head, a signature Basquiat emblem signifying royalty and power. Text elements such as "JUPITER," "SOUTH," "OSSIE," and "ELEZIONE" are interspersed throughout, creating layered references that evoke themes of identity, geography, and sociopolitical commentary. Additional symbols include a trident-like pitchfork, abstract shapes, and annotated numbers, all rendered in Basquiat’s characteristic neo-expressionist style. The color palette features striking contrasts of black, red, white, and blue against the bright yellow, enhancing the visual intensity and emotional impact of the piece. The composition celebrates raw human anatomy and urban cultural motifs, engaging themes of power, race, and cosmic mythology inherent in neo-expressionism. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics and Basquiat’s iconic visual language. Ideal for collectors of urban art, contemporary art aficionados, or enthusiasts of expressionist figuration. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
