Untitled
Jean-Michel Basquiat (1981)
Untitled confronts the viewer with a cutaway <strong>head</strong> that fuses portrait and <strong>x‑ray</strong>, mapping the psyche as anatomy. Searing lines, sutures, and bared teeth stage a battle between expression and damage, turning the act of seeing into an autopsy of identity. Basquiat’s volatile color blocks of <strong>powder blue</strong> and <strong>peach</strong> intensify the sense of a self under pressure and alive with current.
