A curation by Flavio Scaloni, Gallery Manager at Galerie Lo Scalo - Jean-Michel Basquiat remains an enduring symbol of raw creative genius, racial identity, and street-art raw energy. Symbolically, his motif of the three-pointed crown elevates marginalized figures to royalty, while psychologically, his frenetic neo-expressionist style embodies the tension between meteoric fame and existential vulnerability. Since his meteoric rise in the 1980s, his legacy has become a fundamental pillar of contemporary art. Andy Warhol famously collaborated with him on works like Dos Cabezas (1982), capturing their symbiotic influence. In contemporary practice, Banksy paid direct homage to his critique of commodification with his mural Boy and Dog in John Soane's Museum (2017), inspired by Basquiat's 1982 masterpiece. In photography, the world-famous Richard Avedon captured his magnetic presence in his iconic stark portrait Jean-Michel Basquiat, artist, New York City (1984). This selection explores how modern creators continue to channel Basquiat's radical, poetic language.
