This striking composition features a central abstract figure rendered in bold black ink against a muted beige and white backdrop. The figure, reminiscent of a stylized skull or mask, incorporates Basquiat’s signature crown emblem above the artist’s name “BASQUIAT,” located in the top right corner. The head is adorned with spiky hair-like lines and enclosed eyes, evoking themes of identity and mortality. Characteristic neo-expressionist elements are present in the simplified, primitive linear forms and the raw, gestural quality of the brushwork. The monochromatic palette contrasts sharply with the subtle earth tones of the background, emphasizing the figure’s stark symbolic presence. This piece explores themes of selfhood, power, and urban expression through its skeletal framework and iconographic crown, hallmark features of Basquiat’s visual language. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics and Basquiat’s exploration of African-American identity and street culture. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
