A striking piece by Jean-Michel Basquiat, 'King Pleasure' features the artist's signature blend of text, symbols, and raw expressionist painting on a mustard-yellow background.
Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) was an American artist of Haitian and Puerto Rican descent. Basquiat's art career began as part of the graffiti duo SAMO in New York City. His later, more formal work achieved international recognition for its raw emotional power and synthesis of diverse cultural elements. His style combined graffiti art with expressionist painting, incorporating text, symbols, and personal iconography. He died of a drug overdose at the age of 27. His work continues to be exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide. 'King Pleasure' features a mustard-yellow background, scrawled with black paint. A crude crown sits above the words 'KING PLEASURE', underlined with a thick line. The composition is simple, yet the execution is raw and immediate. Drips of paint run down the canvas, adding to the sense of urgency and spontaneity. The work is characteristic of Basquiat's style, which often incorporated text and symbols in a seemingly chaotic manner.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
