Basquiat and New York, Crossing Stories# basquiat New York by Jean Michel Basquiat The Painter
Downtown New York in the 1980s was filled with unfinished dreams and the smell of burnt asphalt. Soho before dawn, the neon-streaked Lower East Side. Running through it, Jean-Michel Basquiat was alive.
Markers instead of sketchbooks in my pocket.
Prioritizing the place to paint rather than the place to live, seeking time to face the canvas rather than talking with friends, he poured the noise of the city into his heart.
Subway vibration. Graffiti remaining on the wall.
Saxophone ringing in the back alley jazz bar.
Basquiat inhaled all of them as "words" and repainted them into his own story.
The crowns sprinkled on his paintings are the cry of a young artist trying to inscribe his own existence in the huge labyrinth of New York.
Success and loneliness, fame and destruction, all with the lights and shadows of the city, were deeply engraved in his life.
New York created Basquiat, and Basquiat remained a legend in New York.
In everycorner of NewYork, Basquiat's spirit still beats like a restless heartbeat.
