Basquiat Essential T-shirt

Jean Michel Basquiat was a total artist, brutal and destructive in every sense. Gifted, misunderstood and advanced to a time to which he did not know how to adapt, he lived on the streets by his own decision and created an artistic universe influenced by urban culture, of which he became an absolute reference. As often happens with these profiles, he went from a cultural reference to a myth when he died at the age of 27 consumed by an obsessive drug addiction.

The Mallorcan artist René Mäkelä has always shown his admiration for Basquiat , which he has reflected in numerous tribute works. This one, made in oil on canvas in 2020, and which today is embodied in a unique garment by MÄKELISMOS, is one of the most celebrated by the international galleries in which it has been exhibited .
