Six Crimee

Six Crimee is a powerful triptych-style composition featuring six mask-like faces with halos, rendered in Basquiat's signature raw, expressionistic style. The work employs a predominantly green palette with gestural marks, graffiti-like text, numerical symbols, and dollar signs that reference street culture and economic themes. The crowned heads and religious iconography reflect Basquiat's exploration of African-American identity, spirituality, and social commentary. This large-scale work exemplifies the artist's mature period, combining Neo-Expressionist painting with elements drawn from his graffiti origins.
