Introducing a vibrant hoodie adorned with Basquiat's captivating artwork, "In Italian," showcased in a colorful all-over print.

Basquiat's artistic style was characterized by his unique ability to blend imagery and text, drawing inspiration from various elements of popular culture, such as cartoons, comic books, and advertisements. Additionally, his works reflected his deep knowledge and curiosity about subjects ranging from anatomical drawings to history, classic works of art, literature, and music.

Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the best known artists of his generation and is widely considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His career in art spanned the late 1970s through the 1980s until his death in 1988, at the age of 27. Basquiat works are edgy and raw, and through a bold sense of color and composition, he maintains a fine balance between seemingly contradictory forces such as control and spontaneity, menace and wit, urban imagery and primitivism. The Basquiat brand embodies the values and aspirations of young, international urban culture.
The conjunction of various media is an integral element of Basquiat's art. His paintings are typically covered with text and codes of all kinds: words, letters, numerals, pictograms, logos, map symbols, diagrams and more, and featured multi-panel paintings and individual canvases with exposed stretcher bars, the surface dense with writing, collage and imagery.
