Odours Of Punt is based on an original artwork created by Basquiat in 1983. It is an outstanding painterly example of the artist’s work incorporating his signature Xerox collage technique with paint and oil stick layering and over painting. Released as a screen print in a very limited edition of 60, Odours Of Punt captures the artist’s signature graffiti style that elevated him to fame during the 1980s in New York City. The gestural marks and expressive nature of the large color fields are pierced like icebergs with text and cave-like markings. Juxtapositions of color, semi-discernible forms and text showcase Basquiat’s boundless creative expression.
