the traveller over the sea of clouds x basquiatA plunge into Basquiat's raw, provocative world, this reinterpretation of Friedrich's iconic work reveals a chaotic, urban vision of isolation. The traveller, reduced to a dark, energetic silhouette, stands facing an abstract sea of clouds, marked by paint chips and graffiti. Graphic elements such as crowns, skulls and vibrant sketches emerge in the composition, infusing the work with a frenetic rhythm.
