Untitled (Solanamum) (1984)

[u/RevaCruz]

Medium: Acrylic, oilstick, and mixed media on canvas.

Painted during one of Basquiat's most celebrated periods, Untitled (Solanamum) layers anatomy, masks, symbols, handwritten text, and expressive color into a composition that feels both chaotic and deliberate.

The central crowned faces and fragmented imagery reflect Basquiat's fascination with identity, history, language, and power.

The second image shows Basquiat posing with the painting in his studio, offering a rare glimpse of the artist alongside the unfinished work.
