Basquiat was a forerunner in the contemporary art world, and this piece pays homage to his innovative and brave approach to his art practice. The lines of thread create a deep and intense stare, while the painterly background frames the portrait. I’ve built up the portrait using three different coloured threads - black, white and grey. These allow for a deeper and more detailed image to be formed. Here I have made the background paint layer by combining emulsion paint with spray paint, using the splatters of the spray paint to add a vibrancy to the piece that reflects Basquiat's character. Bright pink and greens overlay deeper greys.
