This striking composition features a bold black skull-like figure with wide green and white eyes and a jagged red and white mouth, set against an olive-green background. Iconic Basquiat motifs appear, including a vibrant orange crown outlined in white positioned above the head, and black sun and splatter symbols adding dynamic energy. Text elements include "SAMO©" on the left side and "KING OF ENGLAND" vertically on the right, referencing Basquiat’s recurrent themes of identity, royalty, and cultural commentary. The initials "JMB" and a crown symbol at the top right underscore the artist's signature and conceptual persona. The piece employs hallmark neo-expressionist techniques: primitive figurative forms, raw brushstrokes, juxtaposed text and symbols, and a palette dominated by black, green, orange, and white. This work explores themes of power, race, and rebellion in an urban context, layered with Basquiat’s enigmatic symbolism and social critique. This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by 1980s neo-expressionism and Basquiat’s engagement with street art, African-American history, and cultural identity. Ideal for collectors of urban art, contemporary expressionism, or fans of Basquiat’s legacy. Contemporary art inspired by Basquiat’s signature visual language and 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
