Mixed Media mounted on canvas
This is a portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat titled “SAMO” which was his famous graffiti tag used across NYC in the late ‘90s as a sarcastic commentary, which means “Same Old Shit”. The three-point crown became his signature, a rugged symbol he used to elevate Black historical figures, musicians, and himself to royalty, a certain Black excellence in challenging marginalization.
