This dynamic composition centers on a stylized figure with a cat-like mask featuring the words "MONEY" and "$$" on its face, framed by bold outlines and geometric patterns. Surrounding this figure are multiple text elements such as "BATMAN BATMAN BATMAN," "SAMO" contained within the iconic Batman logo, "PAJARO," "BIRD BIRD," "HEUSO," "TAR TAR," "EMPIRE NYCITY," "ACTION ROBIN," and "JMB," creating an intricate network of urban and pop culture references. The piece uses characteristic neo-expressionist features including primitivist figurative forms, vivid primary colors—especially blues, oranges, pinks, and yellows—and layered text interspersed with symbolic imagery such as crowns, bones, skull-like faces, and the repeated bat symbol. The interplay of these elements evokes themes of identity, capitalism, street mythology, and urban life, underscored by the recurring Batman iconography and the cryptic phrase "SAMO," a signature of Basquiat himself. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism’s energetic blend of comic book symbolism, street culture, and layered text. Perfect for enthusiasts of urban art, pop culture, or collectors drawn to bold cultural statements. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
