Jean Michel Basquiat drawings

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s drawings are raw, expressive and deeply layered, combining text, symbols and fragmented imagery in an instinctive, rhythmic style. Often created in ink, crayon or graphite, his works fuse elements of street art, poetry and anatomical sketches, reflecting his fascination with history, race and identity. His notebooks and loose sheets feature recurring motifs such as crowns, skulls and abstract figures, demonstrating his ability to blend high art with graffiti culture. Basquiat’s drawings are not just preparatory studies but standalone works, revealing the urgency and intellectual depth behind his visual language.
