Amazing Modern Jean-Michel Basquiat Inspired Artistic Area Rug, Country Of Origin: Afghanistan, Circa Date: Modern – This unique, contemporary modern area rug in the style of the iconic artist Jean-Michel Basquiat will make a statement in any urban space. Jean-Michel Basquiat was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. His artwork helped define the neo-expressionist movement. Neo-expressionism was a reaction to the minimalist artwork of the 1970s. It is characterized by vivid, high-contrast colors, expressive strokes, and abstraction of the human form. The result was artwork filled with human emotion and that often addressed social issues of the time.

Basquiat’s artwork was known for its raw portrayal of the dichotomies of the era, such as wealth and poverty, segregation and integration, and the contrast between the inner and outer worlds of human experience. His work often fuses historical references and critique that was intended to be used as a tool for self-examination and introspection.

This rug from Afghanistan is in Basquiat’s street art style. The influence of Basquiat’s work is apparent in this artist rug. One of the unique features of this Basquiat rug and textile artwork is that it does not rely on a single focal point, but it has several points of interest that stand out. This contributes to the chaotic feel of the piece, which was the apparent intention of the artist. It speaks of inner and outer struggle and a call for healing the wounds of the past.

This artistic area rug is an emotional piece that is perfect for a collector of neo-expressionist artwork. It tells a story that is important in the dialogue of the racial tensions that were very much a part of Basquiat’s life and the artists whom he influenced. This Afghan rug pays tribute to Basquiat’s message about the human condition. It will make the perfect foundation for a modern art collection in your home or office and could be used as tapestry or as an area rug.
