AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Acrylic and marker on canvas, dimensions 87 x 130; after framing 81 x 124; signed with certificate of authenticity.
The painting makes a strong statement within the neo-expressionist current, clearly echoing the visual language of Jean-Michel Basquiat and street art. At the center of the work dominates a skeletal, anthropomorphic figure, characterized by a stylized head with a grate-like mouth full of teeth and a large central eye that captures the observer's gaze.
The most peculiar aspect is the use of Italian inscriptions (such as 'head', 'hair', 'neck', 'chest', 'leg', 'chair') labeling the various parts of the body and objects, almost as if intending to deconstruct or analyze the figure itself in an ironic or didactic way. The background is a chaotic and vibrant explosion of colors (pink, light blue, yellow and red) laid down with energetic brushstrokes and accents of spray paint, which imbue the painting with a strong emotional charge and a sense of urban urgency.
