The exhibition focused on Basquiat’s depictions of the human head, presenting a more intimate and introspective aspect of his artistic practice.

The Headstrong exhibition brought together works exploring the head as a central motif, including drawings and paintings that reveal Basquiat’s remarkable ability to convey identity, emotion, and human presence through expressive lines and simplified forms.

Many of Basquiat’s head studies were created mainly between 1981 and 1983 and were kept privately by the artist during his lifetime. Rather than being preparatory sketches, these works were conceived as independent artworks, offering a fascinating insight into Basquiat’s approach to portraiture, identity, and the human figure.

Basquiat’s extraordinary career was brief but hugely influential. His raw visual language, combining expressive mark-making, symbolism, text, and cultural references, established him as one of the defining artists of the late 20th century.

This is an Louisiana exhibition poster, produced in connection with the Basquiat Headstrong exhibition.
