The present lot,
Executed in pastel, oilstick, coloured crayon, and charcoal on paper, this dynamic work exemplifies Basquiat's raw and visceral approach to mark-making, layering urgent gestural strokes with his signature interplay of text and imagery. The richly worked surface pulses with an energetic tension, reflecting the artist's ability to transform humble materials into a powerful visual language rooted in street culture, identity, and social commentary.
