Jean-Michel Basquiat's cityscape paintings offer a vibrant and raw portrayal of urban life, reflecting his deep connection to New York City and its dynamic cultural landscape. These works often combine elements of graffiti, abstract expressionism, and symbolism, capturing the energy, chaos, and complexity of the city. Basquiat's cityscapes are not just representations of physical spaces but also explorations of the socio-political issues and personal experiences that define urban existence.
