This evocative composition features a central black figure with a stylized face marked by stark white outlines and eyes, embodying Basquiat’s signature primitive figurative style. The figure's hair and horns add a mythic dimension, while the intense yellow, orange, and red brushstrokes behind them create a fiery backdrop suggestive of raw energy and urban chaos. Scattered text elements and symbolic sketches include a crown emblem with the signature "BASQUIAT" beneath it, underscoring the artist's iconic motif of royalty and self-identification. To the right, a yellow oval encloses abstract line drawings of faces and hands with spiked details, evoking Basquiat’s frequent references to anatomy and psychodrama. A red scribble above the head injects a sense of urgency and spontaneity. The painting employs characteristic neo-expressionist elements: contrasting bold black fields with luminous warm tones, primitive anatomical and mask-like motifs, and layered marks that blur the line between drawing and painting. This work grapples with themes of identity, power, and inner conflict within an urban and mythological framework. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism and Basquiat’s exploration of identity, symbolism, and raw emotional expression. Perfect for admirers of street art aesthetics, neo-expressionist collectors, or fans of culturally charged contemporary pieces. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
