Basquiat Stable — EGGS, TWENTY, Samo

£1,500.00
This vibrant composition features a bold black canine figure set against a dynamic yellow and pink background, surrounded by layered text and symbolic imagery. Prominent text elements include "EGGS," "TWENTY," "ALOE," "RATON RATON," "RUBB RUBB RUBB RUB," "HAITI," "POLICE," "SPIDER," and signatures "SAMO© III" and "BASQUAT," weaving a complex narrative rich with cultural and social references. The piece integrates signature neo-expressionist motifs: primitive figurative forms (the snarling dog and skeletal head), graphic crowns, and frenetic line work reminiscent of Basquiat’s visual language. The use of stark black shapes contrasts sharply with the bright yellow and magenta fields, enriching the energetic composition. Themes of identity, power structures ("POLICE"), and cultural roots ("HAITI") converge alongside cryptic wordplay and symbols. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism’s raw engagement with urban street culture, Afro-Caribbean heritage, and social commentary. Ideal for collectors enamored with Basquiat-style aesthetics and bold, autobiographical narratives. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
