This striking composition features a central figure rendered with raw, primitive lines and bold color accents, characteristic of Basquiat’s neo-expressionist style. The figure has exaggerated facial features including wide, white eyes outlined in red, a rectangular mouth with vertical white teeth highlighted by yellow borders, and an angular nose. Its head is adorned with a spiky black crown-like shape and geometric elements, including a small red square, evoking themes of royalty and power. Text elements appear subtly, with “JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT” inscribed along the right margin, affirming the artist’s presence. The background is a textured blend of muted blues, blacks, and greys, contrasted with touches of pale pink on the figure’s limbs and a light turquoise patch in the upper right corner. This artwork incorporates primitive figurative forms, bold linework, and layered color fields imbued with emotional intensity. The use of stark, expressive outlines and vibrant highlights exemplifies Basquiat's engagement with identity, struggle, and urban life. This is contemporary decorative art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics, ideal for collectors passionate about street art, cultural symbolism, and Basquiat’s groundbreaking legacy. Excellent condition with slight edge wear. Ready to frame or display.
