Dustheads 1982

"Dustheads", a 1982 painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat, is a quintessential example of the artist's signature Neo-expressionist style. Characterized by bold, graphic figures rendered with vibrant, layered colors, the artwork depicts three stylized figures against a black background. Basquiat's use of crudely drawn figures, heavy outlines, and textural paint application create a raw and energetic aesthetic, reflecting the artist's interest in street art and urban culture. The striking imagery and powerful color choices of "Dustheads" exemplify Basquiat's artistic vision and his impact on the contemporary art scene.
