Mythological Griffin: Baroque Basquiat Watercolor

Description

Mythological Griffin: Where Baroque Meets Street Art

This striking watercolor piece captures a contemplative Griffin – the legendary beast of mythology – reimagined through Jean-Michel Basquiat’s distinctive street art approach. The creature emerges from layers of muted colors and bold, raw linework, creating a mesmerizing tension between classical mythology and contemporary urban expression. The baroque elements infuse grandeur while maintaining Basquiat’s characteristic unbridled energy.

As Basquiat himself once said, “I don’t think about art when I’m working. I try to think about life.” This artwork embodies that philosophy, transforming an ancient mythological creature into a raw expression of life’s complexities.
