Description 'Untitled 1' is the first painting in my series of abstract paintings inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Art collectors/lovers will notice that through developing this series I have paid homage to this famous Neo-Expressionist artist who once collaborated with Andy Warhol. I used solid, confident brush strokes, bold and colorful lines with oil sticks, and lots of layering in order to create a refreshing outlook on Basquiat's work. As the series continues, the painting style evolves with a hard contemporary twist from my own hands, breaking away from the style of the late 70s, early 80s.
