This bold composition features a solitary, stylized black figure with hollow white eyes outlined in yellow, topped with a turquoise crown, a recurring symbol in Basquiat’s work signifying majesty and identity. The figure is set against a muted gray background framed by an off-white border, emphasizing its striking simplicity and enigmatic presence. Text elements include a discreet “JMC 2018” signature in the upper right corner, underscoring the artwork’s contemporary creation while nodding to neo-expressionist roots. The minimalist color palette—black, white, gray, turquoise, and yellow—captures a raw, urban energy and primitive figurative aesthetic characteristic of Basquiat’s neo-expressionism. This piece explores themes of identity, power, and anonymity within street culture, employing the crown as a motif of empowerment amid stripped-back, elemental form. It is contemporary decorative art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist exploration of Black identity and visual language. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
