This striking composition centers on a stylized white boot-like form outlined in bold yellow, featuring two prominent circular eye motifs rendered in bright orange and yellow with radiating black lines. Above the figure, text elements include "KING ENGLAND" and "SAMO" in a raw, handwritten style, referencing Basquiat's enigmatic tag and iconography. A fragmented crown icon sits near the text, further emphasizing themes of royalty and identity. The artwork employs quintessential neo-expressionist features: simplified, primitive figurative shapes; strong contour lines; a limited but vivid color palette dominated by black, white, orange, red, and yellow; and layered textual references. The composition explores themes of power, cultural symbolism, and Basquiat’s signature blend of street art vernacular with historical and personal mythologies. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism, ideal for collectors and admirers of urban art, Basquiat's legacy, and culturally charged visual narratives. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
