Basquiat Stable — King Face Mask
This evocative composition centers on a striking black mask-like figure with asymmetrical facial features, including one outlined eye and a prominent yellow eye, set against a muted blue background with bold pink geometric shapes. The face is framed by linear marks and scribbles in white, yellow, and brown, creating a layered, abstract texture reminiscent of neo-expressionist graffiti. Textual elements are subtle but impactful, with the number "74" appearing in red near the right cheek, adding a cryptic numeric motif. Symbolic motifs such as a yellow lightning bolt emphasize raw energy and tension, while scattered brush marks in blue and yellow at the edges contribute to the piece's dynamic rhythm. This artwork employs hallmark neo-expressionist features: stark contrasts of color, primitive mask-like imagery, energetic line work, and an ambiguous yet expressive human visage. Themes of identity, conflict, and transformation resonate strongly, evoking urban life and the complex psychological landscape of contemporary existence. A compelling piece for admirers of 1980s neo-expressionism and Basquiat-inspired art, perfect for collectors seeking bold, thought-provoking compositions with raw, streetwise energy. Contemporary decorative artwork influenced by the interplay of color, form, and symbolic abstraction. Excellent condition. Ready to frame or hang.
