🎨 Well done, from one of our past art show guest. #Repost @demontpinder ・・・ New Art Alert | paying homage to another artist | #ArtLegend 16x20 acrylic on stretched canvas | pinderstory@gmail.com for inquiries | •Jean-Michel #Basquiat (French: [ʒɑ̃ miʃɛl baskija]; December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988) was an American artist.[1] Basquiat first achieved fame as part of SAMO©, an informal graffiti duo who wrote enigmatic epigrams in the cultural hotbed of the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the late 1970s where the hip hop, post-punk, and street art movements had coalesced. By the 1980s, he was exhibiting his neo-expressionist paintings in galleries and museums internationally. The Whitney Museum of American Art held a retrospective of his art in 1992.
