Basquiat Stable — GREAT WIND OF SPHENOID, NASAL, King
This striking composition features a stark white skeletal profile set against a deep black background, emphasizing anatomical exploration through minimalist line work. Text elements label cranial features such as "GREAT WIND OF SPHENOID," "NASAL," "NASAL NOTCH," "NASAL SPINE," "ZYGOME," and "STYLOID PROCESS," creating a layered dialogue between art and scientific illustration. Characteristic of Basquiat’s neo-expressionist style, the piece employs primitive figurative forms, a monochromatic palette, and handwritten text to engage themes of anatomy, identity, and mortality. The skeletal motif serves as both a literal and symbolic representation of human structure and vulnerability within urban and cultural contexts. This artwork is a contemporary decorative piece inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism’s fusion of anatomy, street art, and raw, visceral expression. Ideal for collectors drawn to Basquiat’s interrogation of the body, language, and artistic form. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
