Anton Papo of Bali pays homage to Jean-Michel Basquiat, one of his favorite painters, in this original acrylic painting. The influence of Basquiat on Papo's paintings is clear, from the naïf style of composition to the jarring use of color and the incorporation of text into his paintings. In this work, the artist fondly represents Basquiat as a tree, growing and spreading its branches just as his artwork spread its influence around the world.
