The artwork, entitled “Untitled,” was created by Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1982. It falls within the art movements of Neo-Expressionism and Street Art and belongs to the figurative genre.
The artwork features bold, vivid colors and energetic lines that exemplify Basquiat’s distinctive style. It showcases a skeletal figure with exaggerated features, including prominent horns or a halo-like structure around its head, and an introspective, almost haunting expression. The use of mixed media and rapid, graffiti-like brushstrokes contributes to its raw and dynamic feel, suggesting a sense of urgency and emotional intensity. The composition combines abstract shapes and vibrant colors, creating a chaotic yet striking visual narrative that provokes thought and evokes the complexity of Basquiat’s thematic concerns, such as identity and societal critiques.
