Jean-Michel Basquiat\u2019s artworks are highly recognizable and personal. In contemporary times, many brands, artists, and\/or musicians have used his artwork for promotional uses. \u00a0The first time I came across his works was through Uniqlo\u2019s shirts promoting his works. I was immediately intrigued by his unique use of colors, techniques, and the iconic three crown symbolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basquiat was an American artist based in Brooklyn, NY. His artistic career skyrocketed with a small, anonymous project with his friend Al Diaz called \u2018SAMO,\u2019 which stood for Same Old Shit. The duo created graffiti around Brooklyn. After a disagreement, both artists separated ways and Basquiat started immersing himself in the art industry in New York. \u00a0He quickly created many connections with well-known celebrities such as Madonna, David Bowie, and most notably, Andy Warhol who was his good friend and mentor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of his works tackle societal & political issues. Specifically, some of his works such as La Hara<\/em> represent the historical threat of cops on marginalized neighborhoods in urban cities. With barely any support from his parents and folks around him, critics speculate this is the primary reason some of his more personal works reflect on a journey to understand his own identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
