This dynamic composition features two central figures rendered in raw, primitive forms characteristic of Basquiat’s neo-expressionist style. The upper figure incorporates anatomical elements such as rib-like lines and is outlined with vibrant green and red accents, while the lower head displays a mohawk and exaggerated facial features, emphasizing a visceral, almost tribal aesthetic. Text elements scattered throughout include "LOW," "HOLLYCON," "TOURTEEN," "RAT," "OORT," "CHEWIVUM," and "WIVACOL," blending cryptic references and invented words that invite interpretation. Symbols such as crowns, arrows, and repetitive dots punctuate the piece, adding layers of meaning and visual rhythm. The color palette centers on pinks and purples with contrasting yellows, greens, and blacks, enhancing the composition’s energetic feel. Themes of identity, urban struggle, and cultural hybridity emerge through the anatomical distortions and fragmented text, aligning with Basquiat’s engagement with race, history, and personal narrative. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism’s blend of street art, African diasporic culture, and raw autobiographical expression. Ideal for collectors of urban contemporary art or fans of Basquiat’s provocative style. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
