Jean-Michel Basquiat - "Skull"- Hoodie - Black
Description
Introducing a medium weight fleece hoodie that combines comfort and style flawlessly. This remarkable piece showcases a yellow-gold embroidered crown on the upper left of the front, adding a touch of regal sophistication. On the back, you'll find the striking image of Basquiat's iconic skull from 1983, printed in all its boldness.
Crafted in classic black, this hoodie also features a kangaroo pocket, providing both functionality and style. What makes this pocket truly special is the sewn-in woven tag, which proudly displays Basquiat's handwritten text, taken directly from one of his renowned notebook pages.
The artwork featured on this hoodie holds significant meaning. Jean-Michel Basquiat frequently incorporated skull and head paintings into his work, representing his identity as a Black artist in America. The gestural painting style is reminiscent of African masks while also paying homage to Basquiat's Haitian heritage and the symbolism of skulls in the Vodou religion.
By wearing this hoodie, you not only embrace the comfort and versatility of a well-crafted garment but also carry a piece of Basquiat's artistic legacy with you. The combination of the embroidered crown, the powerful skull image, and the inclusion of Basquiat's handwritten text on the woven tag creates a unique and captivating aesthetic. It's a fashionable statement that celebrates Basquiat's profound artistic vision and allows you to express your appreciation for his art in a truly stylish manner.
