This dynamic composition channels Basquiat’s raw neo-expressionist style with two central figures rendered in primitive, skeletal forms against a vibrant blue and black background. Text elements such as "VENUS," "SUPER MODEL," "1984," "ACTUAL SIZE," "GOTHAM CITY," "BRONX ZOO," "IRON," and "UNDISCOVERED" are scattered throughout, infusing the piece with urban mythos and cultural references. The painting employs signature Basquiat motifs: simplified anatomy with exposed ribs and skeletal hands, bold outlines in ochre and white, crown-like marks, and cryptic symbols including arrows, circles, and crowned heads. The interplay between text and imagery evokes themes of identity, urban life, and myth-making, while referencing New York neighborhoods and notions of discovery and status. This is contemporary decorative artwork steeped in 1980s neo-expressionism, perfect for collectors of urban art and those drawn to the energetic fusion of graffiti, street culture, and modernist figuration. Contemporary art inspired by Basquiat’s iconic aesthetic and his exploration of city life and identity. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
