jean michel basquiat
Jean-Michel Basquiat emerged from the "Punk" scene in New York as a gritty, street-smartgraffiti artist who successfully crossed over from his "downtown" origins to the international art gallery circuit. In a few fast-paced years, Basquiat swiftly rose to become one of the most celebrated, and possihbly most commercially exploited American "naif" painters of the widely celebrated Neo-Expressionism art movement.
I love how his art is so urban and how it expresses where he lives and his personality.
I love how he uses repeated lines and colors to make a how completed picture. the faces he makes reminds me of African art and I like how you can sit and analysis it and come up with many different meanings of the art.
