This vibrant composition centers on a stylized crowned figure with exaggerated facial features rendered in bold blocks of orange, green, purple, and blue. The prominent blue crown emblazoned with the word "CROWN©" anchors the piece, a recurring symbol in Basquiat’s work signifying power and royalty. Surrounding the figure are layered text elements including "RADIUM," "THOR," "FACE OF," "EYE," "CHICKEN BBQ," "SILVER," "SOAP," "BONE," "JAW," "VISION©," "TOKEN," "COTTON," "BANG," and "FIRE EXIT," creating a dynamic interplay of words that evoke both scientific references and urban vernacular. Characteristic neo-expressionist features include primitive figurative forms, skeletal motifs with repeated bone shapes, raw anatomical references, hand-drawn crowns, and dense layering of symbols and text. The palette centers on striking primary colors—especially rich blues, vibrant oranges, and deep reds—juxtaposed with black linework to create intense contrast and visual rhythm. This artwork pays homage to themes of identity, power structures, and raw human anatomy, while also touching on cultural commentary through references to "COTTON," "TOKEN," and "CHICKEN BBQ." It encapsulates Basquiat’s distinctive approach to exploring social issues through an electrifying and cryptic visual language. A perfect decorative art piece for collectors inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism, urban culture, and socially charged symbols. Contemporary artwork styled in the spirit of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
