This vibrant composition centers on a skeletal figure brandishing a torch, set against a dynamic blue background accented with primitive iconography and repeated arrows. Text elements include three prominent crowns, a signature Basquiat motif, alongside repeated "wavy" lines, arrow clusters, and tally marks that create a layered narrative of power, movement, and ritualistic energy. The piece employs characteristic neo-expressionist elements: anatomical abstraction (exposed ribs and skeletal limbs), bold contrasting colors (notably yellow and red against blue), primitive figurative forms, and dense symbolic layering. The composition explores themes of struggle, triumph, and spiritual transcendence through archetypal imagery and Basquiat’s distinctive crown symbolizing majesty and respect.
This is contemporary decorative artwork inspired by neo-expressionism’s fusion of street art symbolism, African diasporic identity, and existential inquiry. Perfect for collectors of urban art aesthetics or those drawn to Basquiat’s iconic visual language. Contemporary art inspired by 1980s neo-expressionist aesthetics. Excellent condition throughout. Ready to frame or hang.
