Pedestrian 2 1984

"Pedestrian 2", created in 1984, is a vibrant and dynamic painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat, a prominent figure in the Neo-expressionist movement. Characterized by bold colors, gestural lines, and symbolic imagery, the work showcases Basquiat's unique style that often explored themes of race, identity, and social commentary. The artwork depicts a stylized figure with a black face and yellow eyes, a recurring motif in Basquiat's work, positioned against a red background. The figure stands beside a building with red windows, creating a stark contrast and suggesting urban landscapes. The combination of bold colors, simple forms, and a focus on the human figure reflects Basquiat's signature aesthetic, making it a highly recognizable piece of his art.
