This dynamic work on paper showcases Jean-Michel Basquiat's roots as the graffiti artist SAMO, with raw, energetic oil stick lines that pulse with the urgency of street art. The graphic marks and bold, unrestrained strokes reflect the visual language Basquiat honed on the walls of Manhattan's Lower East Side. The immediacy of the oil stick medium captures the spontaneous, unfiltered energy that defined his transition from the streets to the fine art world.
