Basquiat Stable — JOKER, BATMAN, Crown

£1,500.00

This dynamic composition channels Basquiat's iconic neo-expressionist style, featuring three central mask-like faces rendered in bold black, grey, and orange against a vivid orange backdrop. Text elements such as "JOKER," "BATMAN," "BIRD," "TAR," "KING," "HALO," and the repeated "OTTO" create a dense, layered narrative rich with pop culture and street symbolism. The repeated use of letters "A" and scattered crowns evoke themes of power, identity, and mythology. Characteristic of Basquiat’s aesthetic, this piece incorporates primitive figurative forms with jagged lines, expressive brushstrokes, and drips of black paint resembling melting or decay. Stark contrasts between the vivid background and dark figures animate the composition with raw energy. The motifs of jokers, kings, and bats suggest an exploration of dualities such as heroism and chaos, order and anarchy. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism’s engagement with urban culture, comic iconography, and themes of identity and power. Ideal for collectors of street art aesthetics, pop culture enthusiasts, or lovers of bold, graphic statement pieces. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics.

Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
