Jean-Michel Basquiat — 1982-4/2005
Jean-Michel Basquiat

1982-4/2005

A vibrant and raw screenprint by Jean-Michel Basquiat, this work pulses with the artist's signature Neo-Expressionist energy, combining bold gestural marks, fragmented text, and visceral imagery that reflect his exploration of identity, race, and urban culture. Rendered in striking colours on Saunders Hot Press watercolour paper, the composition retains the immediacy and urgency characteristic of Basquiat's iconic painting style, translated here into the print medium. Originally conceived in 1982 and realized as a screenprint in 2005, the work bridges two distinct moments in art history while preserving the rebellious spirit that defined Basquiat's legendary career.
