Jean-Michel Basquiat was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1960. He was an incredibly talented artist who challenged and questioned with his art work. Heavily influenced by the ongoing graffiti movement as well as an active participant, he drew, wrote and painted on anything he could get his hands on - refrigerators, lab coats, walls, cardboard-boxes... Jean-Michel Basquiat tragically past away only 27 years old in his apartment from a drug overdose.
"Jean-Michel lived like a flame. He burned really bright. Then the fire went out. But the embers are still hot." - Fred Braithwaite
