These paintings were inspired by the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat (December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988). I won't speak to much about this painter except to say he was a brilliant flame in the world of art who tragically burned out much to early. There is much to explore about his life online http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Michel_Basquiat . And there were two wonderful movies based on his life. I highly recommend both: THE RADIANT CHILD http://www.jean-michelbasquiattheradiantchild.com/ , and BASQUIAT by Julian Schnabel http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115632/ .
My paintings are mixed media on heavy paper. 24" x 36".
