Jean-Michel Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat emerged from the "Punk" scene in New York as a gritty, street-smart graffiti artist who successfully crossed over from his "downtown" origins to the international art gallery circuit. In a few fast-paced years, Basquiat swiftly rose to become one of the most celebrated, and possibly most commercially exploited American "naif" painters of the widely celebrated Neo-Expressionism art movement.

 

Basquiat's work is one of the few examples of how an early 1980s American Punk, or graffiti-based and counter-cultural practice could become a fully recognized, critically embraced and popularly celebrated artistic phenomenon, indeed not unlike the rise of American Hip Hop during the same era.

About Boy JeanMichel Basquiat Neo Expressionist Painting
An electric apparition of emotive and figural intensity, the present work is a recently discovered self-portrait by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Created in 1982, at the height of the artist’s creative and critical success, it exemplifies the rich mark-making, vibrant colour and psychological drama of his self-portraiture: a crucial, complex strand of his practice that turns a searing lens on his personal experience as a black man in 20th century America. Against a backdrop of deep black ink laid down in dripping, gestural strokes, a skull-like visage emerges in glowing colour. With turquoise skin, his head and ears are haloed by whirring scrawls of neon red and yellow oilstick. Laser-red lines hint at a body beneath. Spikes and coils spring from his cranium in variegated tones of green, blue, pink and orange; white streaks beam out of his forehead like a crown. The eyes, nose and mouth were depicted in bright primary hues before Basquiat swept black oilstick across the entire face, casting it into shadow. On top, he drew these features again in jagged white strokes, with the wide eyes, triangular nose and gritted teeth hovering in space like a death-mask. Capturing Basquiat’s proud self-possession, vital energy and stark awareness of mortality, Untitled (Self-Portrait) is a thrilling and multi-layered vision.
