It's about 80% anger

- Jean-Michel Basquiat at Gagosian NYC

25 years after Basquiat's untimely death, the Gagosian Gallery is now showing a collection of works by the native New York artist. The paintings, often wood or pieces of a door, are striking for their abundant application of color and bold, luxurious brushstrokes. Though the subject and iconography is often far from pleasant.

An angry dragon, breathing fire, gapes in the center of a triptych. The long panels all painted opaque black, with the exception of "Chinese New Year" written on it, suggesting a dark yet exuberant NYC-night. The whole composition doesn't give away the secret meaning, even though its beautifully and daringly executed in its sophisticated use of color.

Many of his figures are black, meaning painted black, but intentionally targeting the specific group of people. Basquiat pictures them hovering within the frame. An unsettling feeling strikes the viewer, especially when the subjects are portrayed to seem anxious or caught in the act of anger towards an ignoring world. They are captured in their fragility and need of understanding. 

Some of the words placed randomly throughout the paintings often lack sense, names of drugs or vitamins etc. but accompany the hazed overall experience. A feeling of hope and joy is definitely evoked by the cheerful use of color and behavior of the brush.

The viewer is either taking in the vivid colors of the paintings or trying to unfold the innate secret that lies in every piece of work. This important exhibition is encompassing a short but meaningful career, of an artist that sought to visualize a harsh reality.
