Executed in a raw, street-art aesthetic reminiscent of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the composition features floating white line-drawn figures, brick/scaffolding textures, and scrawled text fragments including "BRONX", "121 ST FOREVER", "MARIE DE SANTEZ", "CHRISTOPHER MARTIN", and "FOLLOW THE PAGANS". The work is painted in a vibrant palette of cobalt blue, emerald green, warm orange, crimson red, and yellow. A notable process feature is the original masking tape border running along the perimeter, stamped/written with directional guides ("TOP" and "BOTTOM"), over which paint washes and marks extend -- retaining the authentic studio process of the artist. Canvas board measures 12" x 16" (unframed), acrylic and mixed media/collage. A raw, energetic work for a collector of outsider, street-influenced, or Neo-Expressionist art.

Good vintage condition overall. Painted on canvas board with original studio tape borders intact around all edges. Unframed, showing minor border discoloration to the tape and edge wear appropriate to its age and medium. Please inspect all high-resolution pictures to evaluate the texture, text details, and edge conditions prior to purchase. See less
