24" x 24" x 1 1/2" Acrylic Painting on Canvas titled -Basquiat Contemplating Fame - by Sal Vargas KLAS - 2025
A modern reimagining of Jean-Michel Basquiat, featuring his younger self painting a black-and-white portrait of his older self with iconic hair and a clenched-fist pose. A Basquiat character from Versus Medici joins the scene, spraying “FAME” in true Basquiat style. The younger Basquiat holds a spray can, wears a spray mask, and carries a tattoo of Andy Warhol on his arm, while the older version displays “KLAS” across his knuckles. A powerful blend of legacy, symbolism, and street-art energy.
