JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT



Ever since I learned about Jean-Michel I thought he was a very interesting character. Like many other people I find of interest, he died at a young age from his own extra cirricular activities. This young man was one of the first people to start as a street based artist and cross the lines into mainstream galleries. Yet, his work still remained interesting. He also starred in a film I own called "downtown 81" which really captures the raw NYC of the early 80's. Even has cameo's from hip hop icon Fab 5 freddy, of which Basquiat was a friend. He also was involved in music as well. For now the frog prophet will suggest you watch this footage of Basquiat and Warhol.

Frog prophet would advise you to take a listen

Wisdom through expression

Over many periods in creation, various artforms have risen. From cave drawings and descriptive hieroglyphs, the passion to take a blank canvas and create something outside of yourself remains. The above work of art is a modern urban masterpiece. This art is not priced an hung in a gallery for the highest bidder. Instead, you may only drive/walk by it and enjoy it for what it is like everyone else. That in itself is justice and equality without the attempt. Take a look for a mintue. You may say graffiti art, I say justice and equality.
