The Figure Portfolio is a powerful example of Basquiat's creative development. The series examines and remarks on the social and cultural landscape of his day, which is demonstrated by the addition of new motifs and exploring new themes of power, identity, and social criticism while keeping artistic consistency with his earlier works.
The characteristic blue hue that Basquiat utilised in earlier works is still present in this portfolio, but it now plays a deeper, more intricate function, giving each piece a particular personality and depth. Warm colours like red, orange, and yellow, are expertly used to give his array of figures life and balance.

Jean-Michel Basquiat
Jean-Michel Basquiat was a renowned American artist known for his raw and expressive works. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Basquiat began his artistic journey as a graffiti artist. His unique style blended elements of street art, neo-expressionism, and primitivism, and his works often explored themes of identity, social commentary, and racial inequality. Basquiat's career skyrocketed in the 1980s, as his paintings gained recognition in the art world. His collaborations with Andy Warhol further propelled him into the spotlight. Basquiat's art captured the attention of critics and collectors alike, making him one of the most influential artists of his generation.
