This striking composition features a stylized face rendered in bold colors with raw, expressive lines typical of Basquiat's neo-expressionist style. The figure’s features are exaggerated with large, red circular eyes, a blue and red nose, and a wide mouth displaying an exaggerated grid of teeth. The linear black outlines and hatch marks for hair create a primitive figurative form that conveys intensity and emotion. Text elements include the word "STADY" scrawled in energetic handwriting alongside the artist’s signature "BASQUIAT," anchoring the piece within the artist’s recognizable visual language. The palette is deliberately limited yet vivid, emphasizing reds, blues, and blacks against a beige background, creating a sense of rawness and immediacy. This piece explores themes of identity, struggle, and perhaps playful distortion of the human face, reflecting Basquiat’s engagement with personal iconography and urban culture. The primitive anatomy and abstracted portrait evoke a sense of urgency and vibrancy associated with 1980s neo-expressionism. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by neo-expressionism and Basquiat’s unique artistic vocabulary, perfect for collectors of urban art and bold, emotionally charged modern visuals. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
