Géraldine Morin’s Basquiat painting features a black-and-white photograph of Jean-Michel Basquiat deep in thought, a cat resting on his lap. Around this intimate scene, the artist adds the words “New York,” “Overdose,” and “Underground” in acrylic, echoing the raw, electric universe of the painter.
She also incorporates some of Basquiat’s signature motifs along with his iconic crown, symbol of his genius and artistic rebellion. The juxtaposition between the tenderness of the captured moment and the energy of the added inscriptions creates a captivating visual tension. This artwork blends homage, urban culture, and creative freedom, reflecting Basquiat’s complex personality. Géraldine Morin thus reimagines the New York icon in a vibrant portrait full of meaning and contrast.
