This dynamic composition evokes the iconic New York City skyline with abstracted skyscraper forms rendered in bold black, white, and vibrant orange. Central to the piece is the word "EMPIRE" highlighted in orange, referencing the Empire State Building and symbolizing urban power and ambition. A recurring crown motif appears both above the buildings and separately below the main image, a signature symbol denoting royalty and artistic authority. The piece employs hallmark neo-expressionist techniques: raw, gestural line work outlining architectural forms; a limited but striking palette dominated by black and orange; and layered symbolic text and imagery. The architectural shapes are simplified into almost primitive grids and shapes, reflecting Basquiat’s urban and graffiti art influences. This is contemporary decorative art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism’s engagement with New York City imagery, urban identity, and cultural symbolism. Perfect for collectors of street art, urban landscapes, or fans of Basquiat’s visual language. Contemporary art inspired by Basquiat and neo-expressionist aesthetics of the 1980s. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or display.
