Apex 1986

"Apex" is a 1986 painting by the American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, created during his Neo-Expressionist period. The painting is known for its bold colors, expressive lines and layered imagery, typical of Basquiat's style. The white background is a canvas for a chaotic yet organized array of black and yellow figures, red and black skulls, and text fragments. The title, "Apex", hints at the artwork's exploration of themes of power, identity, and the human condition.
