“Roses for Basquiat” is a vibrant mixed-media tribute honoring the raw brilliance and spirit of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Layered with sculpted red roses, rare butterflies, and gold-lined edges, the collage frames the young figure with a sense of reverence and youthful power. The black-and-white portrait becomes the calm center of a world bursting with color, texture, and emotion.

Glittered darkness, blooming florals, and expressive color accents build a visual narrative that feels both intimate and monumental. This piece celebrates Basquiat’s legacy through the unmistakable voice and vision of The Expressionist, Shean Davis.
