Artists in conversation

Jean-Michel Basquiat
American · b. 1960

Basquiat similarly combined gestural mark making with bold layered mixed media on canvas, incorporating text and cultural references that add symbolic weight to raw expressive imagery. His energetic brushwork and use of spray paint alongside acrylic closely mirrors the dynamic multi medium approach seen in this piece.

KAWS
American · b. 1974

KAWS bridges street art and fine art through bold colorful compositions that combine spray paint with traditional painting techniques on canvas, much like Kerwick does here. His work shares the same contemporary energy and cross cultural visual language present in this piece.

Cecily Brown
British · b. 1969

Brown creates gestural and dynamic oil and acrylic paintings on canvas that share the same loose expressive brushwork and layered colorful energy found in this Kerwick piece. Her bold abstract yet figuratively suggestive style reflects a similar modern approach to mixed media painting.
