Pattya
1984
"Pattya" exemplifies Basquiat's signature neo-expressionist style, combining gestural brushwork with figurative and textual elements rendered in acrylic and oilstick on canvas. The work demonstrates his characteristic layering of imagery, fragmented words, and anatomical references, reflecting his exploration of the human form and street culture vernacular. Created during the 1980s when Basquiat was at the height of his artistic influence, the painting showcases his ability to merge high art traditions with urban artistic sensibilities.
