Basquiat Stable — Figure Composition Abstract

£1,500.00

This dynamic composition features a ghostly skeletal figure outlined in turquoise with a radiant halo, sitting with one arm prominently extended and the other raised, grasping a red circular form. Surrounding the figure are bold bursts of primary colors—vivid reds, sunny yellows, and splashes of black and gray—blended with sketchy lines and abstract shapes, creating a complex and layered visual narrative. Text elements include stylized squiggles and the suggestive letter forms "B" and "M" on the right, which interplay with the fluid, calligraphic strokes across the canvas. The skeletal anatomy and primitive figurative motifs evoke themes of mortality and identity, while the raw, spontaneous brushwork and color blocking convey urban energy and emotional intensity. This piece employs quintessential neo-expressionist hallmarks: a focus on raw human form, vibrant color contrasts, and a fusion of text and imagery that feels harnessed from street art and underground culture. The painting invites reflection on life, spirit, and the transient nature of existence through a distinctly modern, Basquiat-inspired lens. Contemporary decorative art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism and street culture. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
