Jean-Michel Basquiat: Keep Frozen Plate
This Limoges porcelain plate, made in France by Ligne Blanche, features a detail of the 1988 painting The Dingoes that Park Their Brains with Their Gum by Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Basquiat fused drawing and painting with history and poetry to produce an artistic language and content that was entirely his own. Combining the mediums of graffiti (Magic Marker, spray enamel) with those of fine art (oil and acrylic paint, collage, and oil stick), his best paintings maintain a powerful tension between opposing forces—expression and knowledge, control and spontaneity—while providing acerbic commentary on the harsher realities of race, culture, and society.
