Abstract
"To Repels Ghosts" by Jean-Michel Basquiat is a compelling example of Neo-expressionism. Created with crayon on wood, the painting features raw, energetic strokes and layered imagery that evoke a sense of mystery and emotion. Basquiat’s characteristic style blends abstract elements with symbolic figures and text, capturing a visceral, almost primal feel. The piece reflects the artist’s exploration of identity and history, using vibrant colors and spontaneous forms that challenge traditional notions of representation.
