This striking composition features a central abstracted face with exaggerated, wide orange and black eyes and a bold red mouth framed by chevron-like yellow lines. Above the figure, a prominent orange crown outlined in yellow is paired with the word "KING" in bold white letters, while the bottom bears the iconic "SAMO©" tag and a smaller crown symbol, directly referencing Basquiat’s signature motifs. The piece employs hallmark neo-expressionist elements such as raw, primitive figurative forms, vibrant contrasts of orange, red, yellow, and white against a dark grey background, and layered text and symbols. The crown motif asserts themes of royalty, power, and identity, while the distorted facial features evoke a sense of vulnerability and psychological depth. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by Basquiat’s neo-expressionist engagement with themes of fame, identity, and cultural symbolism. Ideal for collectors of urban art, street art enthusiasts, or admirers of bold, thought-provoking modern compositions. Contemporary art rooted in the aesthetics and cultural language of 1980s neo-expressionism. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
