The Artist that I found, to be very interesting and very inspirational is the an Artist named Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat was a Brooklyn raised African-American Artists that rose to fame in the 1980’s for his Neo-Expressionism, Contemporary art style. Within his art he show subjects of Racism, Classism, and other subjects to show the U.S controlling power structures.
I have heard of him before but didn’t really get a chance to learn about him more, but now that I know more about him I’m so fascinated by his work, its so complex but very interesting. I found one of my works looks similar to the style that he has.
