Basquiat Stable — King Face Mask
This striking composition features two abstracted humanoid figures rendered in bold black and white against a vivid yellow background. The larger figure’s face is divided in a mask-like fashion with red and white accents highlighting one eye, a skeletal mouth, and a prominent nose. The smaller figure beside it includes anatomical motifs such as a spiral stomach and a ribcage-like design. Hair on both figures is expressed with dynamic, linear strokes extending outward. Text elements include "AOPKHE" prominently displayed on the larger figure’s arm, adding an enigmatic linguistic layer. The artist’s signature "JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT" appears at the upper right corner beneath a trademark crown icon, emphasizing authorship and identity. Characteristic neo-expressionist elements include primitive figurative forms, anatomical symbolism, a limited yet bold palette dominated by yellow, black, white, and touches of red and blue, and layered, cryptic text. The work explores themes of identity, duality, and the human condition with Basquiat’s raw, instinctive energy. This contemporary decorative artwork channels 1980s neo-expressionism’s synthesis of street culture, symbolism, and expressive figuration. Perfect for collectors interested in powerful urban art aesthetics and iconic modern art influences. Contemporary art inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat’s signature style and neo-expressionist movement. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
