Basquiat Stable — King Face Text

£1,500.00

This vibrant composition channels the neo-expressionist energy of Jean-Michel Basquiat with bold, primitive figurative forms and layered text. Central to the piece are three distinct faces rendered in Basquiat’s signature raw style: two orange heads with spiky hair and wide eyes, and a larger beige head with closed eyes and exposed teeth, evoking anatomical and emotional complexity. Text elements scattered throughout the artwork include "MONEY," "LIBERTY," "ZOO LIES," and "ESTIMATE," weaving a provocative narrative around themes of value, power, and social critique. A striking yellow crown symbol floats prominently above one of the orange heads, a recurring Basquiat motif symbolizing majesty and identity. Additional symbols like bones and fists add to the piece’s gritty urban commentary. The color palette is dominated by soft blues, pinks, and oranges contrasted with intense black outlines, enhancing the raw, energetic feel. This is contemporary decorative art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism and Basquiat’s engagement with social justice, identity, and street culture. Perfect for collectors of urban art aesthetics or those drawn to expressive, symbol-rich contemporary painting. Contemporary art inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat and 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
