Catch it while you can, because this exhibition closes October 15th (unless they extend the time again) so, it won’t be around forever. It’s like a deep dive into the Instagram feed of Basquiat himself, with a jaw-dropping collection of his art. You’ll find everything from his iconic paintings to edgy drawings and mixed-media masterpieces, showcasing his evolution from graffiti rebel to Neo-expressionist genius.
The themes explored here are straight out of our daily conversations – social justice, identity, and the African diaspora. Basquiat’s work isn’t just art; it’s a raw, unfiltered commentary on the issues that keep us up at night, reflecting the same struggles we see today.
Don’t miss the Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure Exhibition if you want a dose of art that’s as Instagrammable as it is thought-provoking. Basquiat’s work is iconic, and the themes are more relevant than ever. Whether you’re an art aficionado or just looking for a cool day out, this exhibition is where it’s at.
