Meaning & Analysis
Daros Suite by Jean-Michel Basquiat is a series of thirty-two drawings created in 1983, screenprinted posthumously by the artist's estate. This collection, rendered in acrylic, charcoal, crayon, pastel, and pencil, showcases Basquiat's exploration of complex themes through Neo-Expressionism. These works exemplify his unique style and are integral to understanding his impact on contemporary art.
Basquiat's Daros Suite employs a mix of mediums such as acrylic, charcoal, and pastel, with layered imagery and text, creating a tapestry of cultural and political commentary. His work is deeply rooted in the Neo-Expressionism and Street Art movements, drawing on the raw energy of graffiti with a sophisticated narrative depth. Each piece in the suite is a window into Basquiat's psyche, reflecting his experiences and observations of societal structures. The series, part of the Daros Collection in Zürich, Switzerland, is lauded for its bold exploration of identity, power, and race, making it a seminal work in Basquiat's career.
