About the Item

Equals Pi YP x JM Basquiat Date of creation: 2024 Medium: PVC or Silicon piping with LED lights mounted on recycled acrylic board Edition: Open Size: 52 x 52 cm Condition: Brand new Jean-Michel Basquiat's Equals Pi (1983) is an intriguing work that reflects the artist's unique approach to language, mathematics, and social criticism. The title of the work, Equals Pi, refers to a mathematical equation involving the equals symbol and the number Pi (π), an irrational and transcendental number that has profound significance in both mathematics and art. Basquiat, known for his interest in symbols, codes and the blending of disciplines, uses these elements to explore themes of knowledge, power and the perception of reality. The work features a central human figure, as is typical in many of Basquiat's paintings, which is surrounded by graphic elements and symbols that could be related to art and science. The presence of the word "Pi", written prominently, and the mathematical symbol of the equal, generate a visual play between the abstract and the logical, combining scientific language with the artist's visceral expressiveness. By incorporating mathematics into his work, Basquiat also reflects his fascination with complex ideas and how academic knowledge can interact with popular culture, history and politics. The style of Equals Pi remains characteristic of Basquiat: a free use of painting and drawing, with aggressive strokes and bright colors, creating an atmosphere of controlled chaos. The work can be interpreted as a reflection on how logical and rational structures, represented by mathematics, coexist with the disorder and emotion of the human world. As in other pieces of his career, Basquiat uses Equals Pi to challenge conventions and break down the barriers between different forms of knowledge and communication, inviting the viewer to question how we interpret reality and the disciplines that define it. This isn't just decor; it's a slice of art history in neon, inviting you to ponder the true value of wisdom and the irony of the dunce cap in a world hungry for enlightenment. The flexible LED tube is safe and environmentally friendly, too! Set the light to the time of day with adjustable brightness. © Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Licensed by Artestar, New York. Each sign is made of a neon flex material, consisting of PVC or Silicon piping with LED lights, that is mounted on a recycled acrylic board. These materials allow to create realistic neon signs, with bright lights and intense color, while being more durable, affordable, and sustainable than traditional neon. Sustainability is taken seriously thanks to its LED lights which consumes 6 times less energy than traditional lights, lasting up to 100,000 hours. These neon is crafted using recycled materials and 100% recycled packaging, including removing all useless plastic.
