Grillo (Figure With Crown) - Jean-Michel Basquiat - Neo Expressionist Painting - Canvas Prints
100 Rs
Jean-Michel Basquiat emerged from the "Punk" scene in New York as a gritty, street-smart graffiti 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 possibly most commercially exploited American "naif" painters of the widely celebrated Neo-Expressionism art movement.
Basquiat's work is one of the few examples of how an early 1980s American Punk, or graffiti-based and counter-cultural practice could become a fully recognized, critically embraced and popularly celebrated artistic phenomenon, indeed not unlike the rise of American Hip Hop during the same era.

About Grillo (Figure With Crown) JeanMichel Basquiat Neo Expressionist Painting
Crowns, put simply, symbolise royalty, which in itself connects to power and influence. Artists, for many centuries, have depicted ruling monarchs in portrait scenes, normally giving off a theme of strength and confidence. Many artists have progressed their own careers based on their connections and perhaps a particular artwork of a ruling monarch. Many would have preferred to keep a greater independence in their careers, but soon realised that this was a shorter route to success and offered them an opportunity to perhaps take on personal projects, with their financial future secured. Basquiat studied traditional European art but would have felt a million miles away from the court painters of centuries ago. His inclusion of crowns was his attempt to connect his visual language with some of the art of old, whilst also playing with the concepts of power and influence.About the Canvas Prints
