Sax Berlin
Most Young Kings Get Their Head Cut Off

2023

About the Item

This is a stunning, subtle painting from Sax Berlin that evokes the phrase used by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Berlin's interpretation of the quotation draws on his own personal knowledge of Basquiat from the time they were contemporaries in 1980's New York and his Neo-Expressionist style is a perfect vehicle for the piece. In this painting there is an evocation of both Basquiats tragic life and the vicissitudes of the 21st Century. Thoughtful, contemplative and beautiful; a reflection on canvas that photographic representation can only hint at. Oil and Acrylic 24" x 30"

Sax Berlin's Sharp Edge 21st Century NYC Style Sometimes there is a coming together of spirit or intuition, it happens for no discernible reason and is a jolt to the psyche to find others in step with ones own dance. I am not a "feminist" but I do come from a line of women who were strong and happy in their own skins and who lived their lives in their own unique ways. Imagine how astounded I was to find these latest paintings from Sax Berlin arrive as I was starting to delve into Prof. Estes book Women Who Run With The Wolves. A happy coincidence and I must confess that I did a little wild woman wolf dance...
