The Ugly Duck x Jean-Michel Basquiat - “Bird on Money” & “Untitled (Bone)” - Size L
Description
Unveil your true self and embrace the creation of art. In this piece, the bird stands as a powerful symbol of freedom and the desire to break free. For The Ugly Duck, this bird also represents an honest expression of one’s innermost emotions and a profound connection with embracing one’s imperfections.
This particular sculpture features a striking combination of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s iconic artworks, with “Bird on Money” gracing the front and “Untitled (Bone)” adorning the back. The choice of these specific pieces adds a layer of depth to the sculpture, merging Basquiat’s unique artistic vision with The Ugly Duck’s message of self-expression and individuality.
"Bird on Money" showcases Basquiat's trademark style, with its raw, expressive lines and rich symbolism that pays homage to the legendary jazz musician Charlie Parker. On the reverse, "Untitled (Bone)" brings forth Basquiat’s fascination with anatomy, represented through bold strokes and fragmented figures. Together, these artworks create a narrative that blends rebellion, creativity, and the essence of Basquiat's genius.
Basquiat’s influence, known for challenging norms and redefining the boundaries of contemporary art, perfectly complements The Ugly Duck’s ethos of breaking free from societal expectations. The bird, adorned with Basquiat’s powerful imagery, becomes not only a symbol of freedom but also a tribute to the legacy of an artist who dared to be different. This synergy transforms the piece into more than just a sculpture; it becomes a statement that encourages viewers to embrace their individuality and celebrate the beauty of imperfection.
