This dynamic composition features a central hybrid figure seated in a wheelchair, rendered in Basquiat’s signature primitive style with bold outlines and gestural brushwork. The figure, painted in dark tones with striking red limbs and white teeth, evokes themes of struggle and resilience. To the left, a simplified red leaf or feather-like symbol stands upright, contrasting against a layered backdrop of pale blues and whites above a dominant crimson red block below. Text elements are minimal yet present: the artist’s signature “JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT” appears in the lower right corner, accompanied by his iconic crown motif, anchoring the piece firmly within Basquiat’s oeuvre. The color scheme emphasizes vivid red, black, and white against muted pastel blues, creating a tense but balanced visual energy. Characteristic neo-expressionist features include raw figurative representation, symbolic abstraction, and a bold use of flat color fields combined with dynamic line work. The work engages with themes of identity, mobility, and human vulnerability against a stark urban or psychological landscape. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics, perfect for collectors of Basquiat-style urban art or fans of bold, emotive painting. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
