Sax Berlin
"Basquiat" Contemporary Homage to Basquiat and Street Art by Sax Berlin

2018

About the Item

Portrait of Basquiat - troubled enfant terrible of the street art scene in downtown Manhattan in the 1970's & 80's. Wearing his trademark Armani suits Basquiat worked in fast, furious frenzy to make his arguments appear on canvas, often going out in the paint spattered suit after finishing a piece. Sax Berlin has captured Basquiat in his prime when they were both working on the streets of Manhattan. This is a great piece of Neo-expressionism with collectors appeal for fans of the tragic Jean-Michel Basquiat and fans of supremely talented Sax Berlin. Oil and acrylic on canvas.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery) About Artist Abiodun Nafiu Azeez is an accomplished artist with a diverse background in contemporary painting, particularly Osogbo art. However, his true passion lies in abstract expression, where he seeks to promote African art, culture, and nature. Influenced by his artist father, he paints to preserve memories and connect with broader societal concerns. Abiodun's artistic style is characterized by the abstraction and simplification of human compositions. He employs vibrant oil colors, often focusing on primary colors that transition into secondary and tertiary hues. His subjects stand out against neutral backgrounds, creating a harmonious balance in his paintings. A prominent feature in his works is the use of red, blue, and yellow tones, subtly blended to emphasize form and shape. His artistic journey includes training under renowned bead painting contemporary artist Jimoh Buraimoh...
