The artwork titled “J’s Milagro” by renowned artist Jean-Michel Basquiat was created in 1985. This piece, a significant example of Neo-Expressionism and Street Art, is executed using a combination of acrylic, crayon, wood, and metal, with dimensions measuring 203 by 228.6 cm. It belongs to the figurative genre and is currently housed in a private collection.
The artwork presents a robust and chaotic composition, characteristic of Basquiat’s style. It features a diverse array of textures and materials, contributing to a complex visual narrative. The central panel portrays an abstract humanoid figure with a black, amorphous head, juxtaposed with vibrant and textured background elements. The side panels consist of various forms, sketches, and notes, some of which appear to be affixed on the surface, adding depth and dimension. The use of bold colors, raw brush strokes, and graffiti-like scribbles indicates influence from both street culture and traditional art techniques. The assemblage of seemingly disjointed elements creates a sense of energy and movement, embodying the raw and expressive power typical of Basquiat’s oeuvre.
