Ribs, Ribs

"Ribs, Ribs" (1982) by Jean-Michel Basquiat exemplifies his dynamic approach to Neo-expressionism, blending figurative imagery with raw, energetic lines. Created on Paper, the artwork features bold Crayon marks that convey a visceral and expressive quality. Basquiat’s recurring motifs, including skull-like figures and abstract symbols, evoke themes of mortality and identity, characteristic of his unique style within the street art movement. "Ribs, Ribs" captures his ability to fuse powerful imagery with a spontaneous, gestural technique.
